The comedy, centered on five characters (Rita, Rodolfo, Agostino, Bettina, and Don Attilio – “o viecchio pazzo”-), has as background the Italy of the 60s between the economic boom and the perennial unemployment crisis. The cylinder, well explained by “Agostino-Eduardo” in the comedy, is a representation of power, designed to intimidate the ignorant for its only evocative “power”. It can also be seen as a sort of “Pirandellian mask”, where the character of Augustine wears it to defend himself and represent something that he is not.
