Non solo attori. Modelli organizzativi e gestionali tra Sei e Settecento tra Napoli e l’Europa

Abstract

The paper focuses on the development of the legal measures which govern the performing arts’ system in Naples in the 17th and 18th centuries, with special reference to the theoretical questions and to the management options lying behind the decisions – even the daring ones – adopted in several seasons, and looking at other contexts, such as Vienna, for example, where similar themes emerge. The idea is to reflect upon theatrical models which play an important role in the history of the theatre in the early modern age, as well as in the circulation of ideas and practitioners.
