Origin of a servant of two masters?

"The Servant of Two Masters" is a comedic play written by Italian playwright Carlo Goldoni in 1746. It is based on the traditional Italian commedia DELL'arte style, which features stock characters and improvisation. The story centers on Truffaldino, a clever servant who tries to serve two masters simultaneously, leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings and chaos. Goldoni's work revitalized the commedia form by incorporating more structured narratives and character development.
