1. L'avaro
A domineering, miserly patriarch hoards money to the point of alienating his children; when he plans to marry the young woman loved by his son and schemes to control his daughter's match, servants, matchmakers, secret lovers and the theft of his hidden hoard spark comic intrigues that expose his obsessive parsimony and hypocrisy, leading to revelations that untangle the romances and satirically condemn avarice.
