From the European, well-known ‘myth’ of Don Giovanni spanning the seventeenth century with charm ever new, and with variations to increase their functional capacity stage, Goldoni distances himself in his tragi-comedy Don Giovanni Tenorio, emphasizing an unprecedented feature of the seducer, that of cowardice. Decommissioned the role of the swordsman always ready to duel, the antihero of the Age of Enlightenment, even emptied of its moral value, appears in the eyes of the viewers as a bourgeois any, panicked because hounded by events. The allure for this stage is not less alive, considering that forty years later Mozart will draw his masterpiece perhaps even inspired by Goldoni and his original explicit, far different from that of the baroque scenarios.
