Clizia presents a vibrant Renaissance comedy, chronicling the chaotic domestic life of Nicomaco, an elderly Florentine citizen, as he succumbs to an absurd infatuation with his young ward. This witty play illustrates the folly of age attempting to recapture youth, as Nicomaco's obsession throws his household into disarray and pits him against his own family. Machiavelli masterfully constructs a narrative filled with mistaken identities, clever deceptions, and uproarious misunderstandings. The work satirizes human weaknesses and societal norms with sharp dialogue and intricate plotting, ultimately affirming the triumph of reason and order.
