Gazzaniga - Differences in Character to Da Ponte's Don Giovanni

The main differences in the characters are this: unlike da Ponte's use of one servant,
Leporello, Bertoli uses two servants: Pasquariello and Laterna, but he focuses more on the former than the latter.

The condemnation of the Don to hell is straightforward in involvement, but the Demon voices in Da Ponte's version are called Furies (perhaps attributed to the characters to Dido and Aeneas)

Maturina is a substitute for Da Ponte's character Zerlina.

Biaglo is a subsitute for Da Ponte's Masetto.


Oljola is the Itallianate substitute name for Ulloa.
