One of the most important of these was the commedia dell'arte, a type of improvised theater that was popular throughout Europe.

These characters were used to create a variety of different stories, often satirizing contemporary society.

In the 16th century, the commedia dell'arte was brought to Spain by Italian actors. The Spanish quickly adopted the form, and it soon became one of the most popular forms of theater in the country. Spanish playwrights began to write their own plays in the commedia dell'arte style, and these plays were often performed by professional companies of actors.

The commedia dell'arte continued to be popular in Spain throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. However, in the 19th century, it began to decline in popularity. This was due in part to the rise of new forms of theater, such as the Romantic drama and the Realist drama.

In the 20th century, the commedia dell'arte experienced a revival of interest. This was due in part to the work of scholars and theater practitioners who were interested in rediscovering the form's original principles. Today, the commedia dell'arte is still performed around the world, and it continues to be a source of inspiration for contemporary playwrights.

The License

The license was a document that granted actors the right to perform in public. It was issued by the authorities of a city or town, and it specified the conditions under which the actors could perform. The license typically included a list of the plays that the actors were allowed to perform, and it also set limits on the number of performances that they could give.

The license was an important document for actors, as it allowed them to perform legally. Without a license, actors could be arrested and fined. The license also gave actors a certain degree of protection from the authorities. If they were harassed or abused, they could appeal to the authorities for help.

The license was not always easy to obtain. The authorities were often reluctant to grant licenses to actors, as they were often seen as a threat to public order. In some cases, actors were required to pay a fee for a license. In other cases, they were required to submit to a審査, in which they had to demonstrate their skills as actors.

Despite the difficulties, the license was an essential document for actors. It allowed them to perform legally and it gave them a certain degree of protection from the authorities.
