Commedia dell'arte is a form of improvisational theatre that began in Italy in the 16th century. The title is difficult to translate. A close translation is “comedy of craft”. This is shortened from commedia dell’arte all’improvviso, or “comedy of improvisation”.
The plays of Commedia dell'arte were often performed by a small group of actors who traveled around and performed in town squares. The actors would pass a hat around for people to put money in.
The actors often wore masks. The stories were often about people being cunning. Hunger, love and money were important in the stories.
