To celebrate Global Commedia Day later this Wednesday, February 25, here are three more facts about commedia dell'arte!
β€The theatrical term "slapstick" described comedic stage combat originated from commedia, specifically from the batte carried by or used upon the harlequin fool
β€Though commedia was improvised to a brief outline scenario, most plays had scripted and memorized moments of short scenes, dialogue, or physical comedic bits called lazzi (singular lazzo) that often did not enhance the plot but could be inserted into many plays
β€The most famous actor of commedia in the Italian Renaissance was Isabella Andrieni of i Gelosi who had fan clubs and wrote plays and poetry inspiring many troupes today to use the name for a more clever and self-determined amorosa in contrast to the typically ditzy innamorati

The core plot to almost every Commedia dell'arte is a farcical and madcap romantic escapade! Here's a montage of our "Lovers Approach" lazzo to celebrate Valentine's Day!

It's a big sportsball weekend with not only the Superbowl tomorrow but also the Winter Olympics in northern Italy! Perhaps later this year, maybe we'll encore our commedia dell'arte about a Renaissance Italy predecessor to football, "A Comedic Farce of a Fraudulent Cow in Calcio Fiorentino"!
So we say, "Go favorite sportsball team! Move that ball to wherever better than the other sportsball team!"
