QR code
"Papà Eccellenza: dramma in tre atti" by Gerolamo Rovetta is a theatrical drama written in the early 20th century. The play centers on Pietro Mattei, an influential public servant in contemporary Rome, and explores themes of family, political ambition, social reputation, and personal integrity. The likely focus of the work is the complex interplay between Mattei's demanding public career and intricate family dynamics, especially involving his beloved daughter Remigia and the tensions
with her husband Federico Schmidt. The opening of the drama introduces us to Mattei's household and immediate social circle. Mattei is portrayed as a dedicated and overworked statesman, supported by loyal colleagues and torn by private concerns. The first act reveals conversations that highlight his exhaustion, his reliance on trusted aides, and his intense, almost idolizing affection for his daughter Remigia. As the action unfolds, family conflicts become apparent: there is tension between Remigia and her husband Federico, financial strain due to overspending, and social complications involving the charming but irresponsible Alvise. Questions of social propriety, honor, and mutual misunderstanding set the tone, with scenes unfolding rapidly in Mattei's study and punctuated by lively dialogue, emotional confrontations, and moments of both humor and sorrow. The second act continues these themes, deepening both the political intrigue around rumors of corruption and the personal entanglements at the heart of Mattei's family.
