These actors are playing the parts of Smeraldina dn Truffaldino in the stage play "The servant of two masters" (Italian Il servitore di due pardoni", a comedy by Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni written in 1746. Goldoni originally wrote the play at the request of actor Antonio Sacco, one of the great Truffaldinos in history.
