Isabella, Three Sailing Ships and a Con Man is a 1963 two-act play by Italian playwright Dario Fo. The play was controversial at its time for its political content, which caused massive outrage amongst far-right supporters in Italy; Fo received threatening letters, was assaulted in Rome by fascist groups, while another performance was disrupted by a bomb scare. He recounted this event in the prologue of Johan Padan and the Discovery of the Americas.
