Francesco Andreini

He began his career playing the role of the unsophisticated love-stricken young man.

Francesco Andreini was the leader of the Gelosi commedia dell'arte troupe and had he not brought this type of theater elsewhere, it would not have made it further to the mainstream media and developed into multilingualism and oral and textual transmissions.

He was a member of the company of I Gelosi which Henry IV of France summoned to Paris for his bride, the young queen Marie de' Medici, thus introducing the commedia dell'arte style to France.

Similarly, Andreini elaborates on the fact that the doctor was only talk, while the lovers could get carried away with themselves to any extent.

[7] Andreini spoke a handful of languages including Italian, Turkish, English and French.
