−	In actual fact they are all basically the same play: ''[[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''[http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/antonio-mattiuzzi_(Dizionario_Biografico)/], 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]]''.)	+	#REDIRECT[[I Due Gemelli Veneziani]]
