	Francesco Andreini
		His wife Isabella Andreini (1562-1604) was a member of her husband's company, distinguished alike for her acting and her character,--commemorated in the medal struck at Lyons in the year of her death, with her portrait on one side, and the figure of Fame on the reverse with the words aeterna fama.
		Born Isabella Canali at Padua, she met and married Francesco in 1578, when both were hired for the troupe of Flaminio Scala[?].
		Her son Giambattista Andreini (1578-1650) was born in Florence, and had a great success as a comedian in Paris under the name of Leylio.

		Wendy Gough brings to life famous actress Isabella Andreini, and a host of colorful characters against the backdrop of the rarely seen 16th Century commedia dell’Arte, in the World Premiere of her solo play, The Divine Madness of Isabella, directed by John Achorn at the Write Act Theatre in Hollywood.
		Frightened and confused as to her whereabouts, Isabella is driven by a mystical, unseen force to improvise a scenario; but this scenario is not a simple play - - it is Isabella’s life.
		Isabella was a huge star of the Commedia dell’ Arte, a form of theatre that bridged the gap between the traveling minstrels of the Middle Ages and the high comedy and tragedy of the Renaissance.

	Attending to Early Modern Women VI
		As Julie Campbell puts it, Andreini "creates a pastoral tragicomedy," and adds a new element to the drama: "the voice of the Renaissance female dramatist writing in response to the texts of her male contemporaries." In the scene studied for our purpose, we witness a burlesque twist in the representation of violence.
		Through this ironic inversion, Andreini revises the rape fantasy of pastoral tradition and questions the accepted codes of violence of her own society.
		Andreini, Cary, and Zayas functioned in societies of men and therefore engaged in inconspicuous decoding of practices and ideologies hostile to them.

	Julie Campbell, TITLE. AGORA, December, 2004.
		Isabella Andreini does something similar in her pastoral tragicomedy La Mirtilla, in which she features a traditionally cold, chaste Petrarchan beloved so vain that she can love only herself, as well as a wildly idealistic shepherd who comically tries to bribe his way into his beloved’s affections.
		Andreini’s popularity with French royals and nobles is reflected in her acclaimed performance for the wedding festivities of Christine de Lorraine and Ferdinando de’Medici in 1589, as well as in Henri IV’s patronage of her from about 1601 to 1604.
		Regarding Andreini’s performances in France, Clubb points out that Isabella and Francesco Andreini “enter the history of the stage in 1578”; after a tour in France, which suggests that they may have been performing with the Gelosi during their tour in France in 1577, 262.

	Erith Jaffe
		Among Andreini’s most famously documented performances is her appearance as a Turkish woman who loses her mind, and her clothes in The Madness of Isabella (la pazzia d’Isabella), performed for the nuptials of Ferdinando de’ Medici and Christine of Lorraine in Florence in 1589.
		In that performance, Andreini’s proximity to her onlooking male and female audience in the Uffizi theatre suggests she yielded great force in the presentation of her body in a time in which the presence of women performers was still forbidden in many European nations.
		The fact that Andreini characterized a foreign woman and spoke a number of languages further transgressed notions regarding women’s verbal self-expression at a time when Alberti and de Barbaro’s written decries for female silence were still respected.

	Isabella Andreini
		We don't know what kind of education Isabella had as a child, but now she read and studied and wrote; at the same time, she was traveling, acting and raising her seven children.
		By 1587 Andreini's sonnets were being printed in Italian anthologies, and this recognition seems to have given her the courage to publish other work.
		The Gelosi troupe and Andreini's son are mentioned in the notes, but the whole article illustrates why Andreini had to stress to her readers and hearers her learning and virtue.

	L'Italiana in Algeri
		Isabella was one of the stock characters in 17th and 18th century Italian commedia dell'arte, the inamorata, often the daughter or wife of the buffoonish Pantalone.
		She may have taken her name originally from Isabella Andreini (1562 - 1604), one of the first and greatest actresses of the genre.
		Although the name was in common use (Rossini's first wife and the creator of ten of his contralto roles was Isabella Colbran), no one at the time could have missed the obvious connection with commedia dell'arte, a basic part of the lineage of opera buffa.

	Elizabeth Reitz Mullenix’s Response to Erith Jaffe
		The trajectory of this argument is very similar to many of my interpretations of performances by nineteenth-century American women who performed a resistant identity that they themselves constructed in an age of rigid, binary notions of femininity and masculinity.
		Was her nudity resistant--a display of women’s flesh engineered and controlled by a woman in an age of masculine constructions of feminine beauty?
		I was also really interested in the ways in which Andreini’s body might be read as carnivalesque and look forward to hearing Erith elaborate on this idea, as I am also working on carnival bodies and would be aided in my own work by hearing how other scholars apply Bakhtin’s theories to their historical subjects.
