I Tre Gemelli Veneziani ("The three Venetian twins") is a comic drama in three acts by Antonio Collalto Mattiuzzi.
Originally written in Italian when Mattiuzzi was at the Theatre Italien in Paris (1759-1778).
According to the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani[1], this was in its turn an adaptation of Carlo Goldoni’s 1747 play I Due Gemelli Veneziani ("The two Venetian twins", also formally translated and published as The Venetian Twins in English) ; which in its turn had been based on Menaechmi, a Latin comedy by Plautus (which had also been the major source for William Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors, and to a lesser extent perhaps of Twelfth Night.
