Flaminio Scala (27 September 1552 – 9 December 1624),[1] commonly known by his stage name Flavio,[2] was an Italian stage actor of commedia dell'arte, scenario writer, playwright, director, producer, manager, agent, and editor. Considered one of the most important figures in Renaissance theatre, Scala is remembered today as the author of the first published collection of commedia scenarios, Il Teatro delle Favole Rappresentative,[3] short comic plays that served as inspiration to playwrights such as Lope de Vega, William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, and Molière.[4]
^ abRichard Andrews (in the Introduction to Scala 2008) gives Scala's date of birth as 27 September 1552 and states it is based on a will that Scala drew up in 1616 (see p. ix in a preview at Google Books). This date is also given in Cappalletti 2008
