The key turns out to be the one to Ser Matteo's house, which the old tailor has dropped, giving Arlecchino the means for front-door access to Annunziata any time he desires

Arlecchino escorts his own wife, Columbina (Maureen McGuire), to the town watering hole, to blunt her curiosity regarding his presence near the tailor's door; unlike all the others, this photograph was not taken during the original Boston/Cambridge stand, but dates from a NECOG tour performance a few months later at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire
