The work in brief 

The sculptor Pygmalion is desperate: the work appears empty and meaningless to him since he began to experience a new and unknown amorous passion for one of his female statues, whose limbs seem to move when approached with the tools of the trade.  Torn by mixed feelings, he turns to the gods, asking for peace and mercy.  All hope, however, is in vain and the only solution seems to be death: Pygmalion turns to Venus, goddess of love, saying he wants to consecrate her life and her death to the statue he calls by name: "Galatea where are you? ? "  When lightning strikes her, the statue comes to life and the artist tells her he was its creator;  Galatea - discovering the beating of her heart - she realizes that she is alive and she embraces him.

All members of the house join in the game and welcome the famous maestro Semiminima who comes to pay Febeo a visit: he is none other than Carolino in renewed disguise. Febeo, deeply impressed by the master’s rep
