The extraordinary circulation of comic scripts (texts, manuscripts, scenarios and zibaldoni) in seventeenth-century Rome allows us to observe the profiles of a ‘self-referential theatre’ that involved citizens, amateur actors and authors, and depicts clear images of milieus, conventions and habits of the city.
