Book Synopsis Befriending the Commedia dell'Arte of Flaminio Scala by : Natalie Crohn Schmitt
Book excerpt: Schmitt demonstrates that the commedia dell'arte relied as much on craftsmanship as on improvisation and that Scala's scenarios are a treasure trove of social commentary on early modern daily life in Italy.
