A believer in modernity and progress, he championed the rights of women and the equality of all classes. Goldoni’s successes did not spare him from criticism. During the period 1748-1753, while Goldoni was creating more realistic and thoughtful plays, he was often attacked by Pietro Chiari, a writer of sentimental, romantic dramas at a rival theater and also Count Carlo

Disguised FST FORUMS as a defense of traditional dramatic forms, Gozzi’s criticism of Goldoni’s realism was an extension of this personal antagonism. Goldoni, a mild-mannered, pleasant person with no desire to continue this bitter polemic, left Venice for the prestigious directorship of the Italian theater in Paris. However, after 2 unhappy years (1762-1764) he accepted appointment as tutor in Italian (1764-1768) to the daughters of King Louis XVI. While maintaining residence in Paris, Goldoni furnished new material in Italian and dialect for the Venetian stage. Also from this period come his works written in French. Especial- ly noteworthy are the comedy Le Bourra bienfaisant (1771) and Memoirs of His Life and Theatre (1787), from which the reader gains a view of Goldoni’s evolving dramatic style and detailed accounts of artists, directors, and theaters of his time. The French Revolution brought an end to the pension Goldoni had been receiving from the French government. Already in his 80s and nearing blindness, Goldoni spent his last years in pov- erty-stricken suffering. Ironically, news of the reinstatement of his pension in 1793 arrived the day after his death.
