Pirandello immortalizes Liolà as an ideal father, and in certain scenes in the play, Liolà shows a lot of love and affection to his children. "Liola disclosed an unfamiliar side of Pirandello. It is the work of his Sicilian origins and in place of the fractured perspective of illusion and reality its view of the world is as down-to-earth as a primitive painting with landscape and figures equally expressive of the one theme of fecundity."

  • Liolà è una commedia di Luigi Pirandello scritta in lingua siciliana nel 1916 durante la prima guerra mondiale, in un momento molto doloroso per la vita dell'autore: il figlio era detenuto in un campo di prigionieri di guerra e la moglie cadeva in sempre più frequenti crisi della sua malattia mentale. L'opera invece, nonostante questa angosciosa condizione della vita dell'autore, è molto giocosa ed allegra, quasi spensierata, al punto che l'autore stesso dirà «è così gioconda che non pare opera mia». La commedia fu messa in scena per la prima volta il 4 novembre 1916 al Teatro Argentina di Roma con la Compagnia di Angelo Musco. Poiché era scritta totalmente in lingua siciliana, all'inizio pubblico e critica avevano molte difficoltà nel comprendere i dialoghi. Questo inconveniente convinse l'autore ad inserire nel testo nel 1927 una traduzione in italiano della commedia. La vicenda di Liolà è ispirata ad un episodio del capitolo IV del romanzo di Pirandello Il fu Mattia Pascal. Ha per protagonista Neli Schillaci, detto Liolà. Nome di battesimo e soprannome erano già stati attribuiti ad un altro personaggio: Neli Tortorici, nella novella La mosca. Liolà è un personaggio spensierato e vagabondo, sempre in sintonia con il mondo e la natura. Pur non essendo una commedia musicale, la vocazione alla poesia e al canto di Liolà è espressa in canzoni che si inframmezzano nel corso della vicenda. (it)
