Traces the history of Italian puppetry from its evolution in the 16th century. This work covers: the golden ages of marionettes, glove puppets, fantoccini, pupi, and other forms; descriptions of episodic, dramatic performances known as rappresentanti figurati; and, studies of two marionette companies, Turin's Lupi and Catania's Fratelli Napoli.

This is the first full-length, English language study of Italian puppetry. Chapters describe Italy''s rich puppet theater tradition through the end of the eighteenth century; the golden age of glove puppets, marionettes and pupi; commedia dell''arte and the puppet stage; the evolution of repertoires; music and spectacle; and changes during the twentieth century. Concluding chapters offer in-depth studies of two marionette companies, Turin''s Lupi and Catania''s Fratelli Napoli. Rich in photographs, the book includes 28 color plates.
