Francesco De Carlo

The story of Ancient Rome is not only a tale of the past, but a mirror of our present and a lesson for the future. Francesco De Carlo, with his new stand-up comedy show, takes us on an ironic and surprising journey through the glories and weaknesses of a civilisation that has left an indelible mark on the world.

A hilarious and irreverent monologue that spans more than a thousand years of history: from the foundation of Rome to the fall of the Empire, passing through scandals, wars, pandemics and climate change, and finally tackling modern issues such as integration, civil rights, propaganda and fake news.

From Romulus and Remus to Caesar and Cleopatra, from Seneca's speeches to Nero's excesses, the stage is transformed into an arena where emperors, philosophers and ordinary citizens come to life. All told in the brilliant and direct style of Francesco De Carlo.
