Scaramuccia da Forlì (?, Forlì, Italy - 1450) was an Italian condottiero active in the first half of the 15th century.
First news of Scaramuccia are in 1433 as connestabile (officier) of one of the gates of the city of Forlì of Emilia Romagna.
In the following years Scaramuccia remained under the Serenissima, and in the summer of 1446 he fought again the Visconti's army at the head of 400 infantry.

 Talk:Scaramouche - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This section of the book is where the title of the novel is drawn from.
The character of the novel seems, if I read correctly, to have been drawn from a more or less indistinguishable stock character of the Italian/French theatre called "Scaramouche, Scaramouch, or Scaramuccia".
Surely we don't need three articles for these: I would think we need exactly two, one for the book and one for the comedic character.

Although Borromeo was on the whole skeptical of the more outlandish reports of untori, he thought some of the accounts were credible, including stories that certain anointers wiped prayer books with unquents in order to spread the disease among the clergy.
Borromeo was heroized for his reputed affection for the people of Milan during plague, as in this painting by Luigi Pellegrino Scaramuccia done in 1680.
During the great famine of 1627-8, he is said to have fed daily 2,000 poor people at the gates of his residence, and was personally an example of such absolute heroism during the plague year that nearly one hundred of his clergy gave up their lives attending plague victims.

 Scaramuccia - Reviews - Chamber Music
Gregory Squire, now a first violinist in the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, spent 16 years playing in Scottish orchestras and naturally became interested in the music of the Scottish, past and present.
There he founded a group called Scaramuccia (skirmish) that explored the repertoire of Italian music enjoyed in Scotland in the 18th century, and the group has re-formed in New Zealand: two violins (Squire and Shelley Wilkinson), Katrin Eickhorst-Squire on cello and recorders of various sizes with Douglas Mews at the harpsichord.
The aural delight began as they tuned against the seductive sound of the harpsichord, and then launched into one of Corelli’s concertos (Opus 6, No 7).
