La farsa amorosa

 is an opera in three acts by Italian composer Riccardo Zandonai.
The opera is on a comic subject, and was an attempt to revitalize the "opera buffa" tradition which flourished in Italy during the 18th and early 19th centuries.
The story is based on the novel "El sombrero de tres picos", (1874) by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, which was the basis of Manuel de Falla's ballet "The Three-Cornered Hat" and Hugo Wolf's opera "Der Corregidor". The libretto by Zandonai's frequent collaborator relocates the action to Lombardy but retains Spanish names. The cast uniquely includes two love-lorn donkeys, Ciccio and Checca.
