Still separated in three groups, dott. Marucci dictated a
few words: family, quarrel, eating, talking, reading. On such words we built up
three short comedies and interpreted it in our Spoleto dialect. (The English
version is an attempt to give an idea of a typical central Italian full family
situation).
