From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abele is an Italian play inspired on the first Bible's chapters by Vittorio Alfieri (1749–1803) which he described as a tramelogedia. It was written in 1786 and first published after Alfieri's death in 1804 in London. The play's characters can be divided in two groups: The first group includes the firsts earth's residents after the creation ( Adam, Eva, Cain and Abel) and the second group represents the spiritual beings ( God, Beelzebub, Sin, Envy, Death, Angels and Demons).
