comica finale
Hello. What does comica finale mean? Does it mean the last comedy?

Hi, It's Italian, not English! Most likely: "the final farce"; the translation of the word "comica" into English depends a lot on the context, however. Are you asking about the tifle of this song?

Hi,
No not a song. It's in a text about theatre. A name of a one-act farce. I got that it is Italian but I needed a synonym.

By the way, do you know the difference between jester and court jester here? :
...The word giullare can be translated as 'jester', provided it is not taken in the sense of 'court jester' but in the sense of all-round entertainer who performed to the people in the public places of the cities.
