Le leggi fondamentali della stupidità umana is the new opera commissioned by the 82nd Maggio Musicale Fiorentino from Vittorio Montalti. The title and inspiration are from the text with the same name by Carlo M. Cipolla, which can be considered a kind of illuminating theory on stupidity, as well as precious and humorous invitation to not underestimate the number and harmful potential of the stupid people we come across every day.
