Abstract
Examining the case of the comedy Il Moro (1607) by Giambattista della Porta, the contribution proposes to analyze the dialogue between the stage and the audience in Renaissance theater. The essay reconstructs a case of musical allusion, showing how cultural assumptions organize theatrical meaning and culturally motivate the narrative development of the comedic action. The construction of the plot is thus justified by the system of references and foresights which are typical of an era where the comedy was composed and staged
