The Accademia degli Intronati in Siena was originally a group of theatrical performers and writers, humanistic scholars and nobles that was founded in Siena in the 1520s. Its bourgeois counterpart was the Congrega dei Rozzi worn by the Sienese craftsmen .

history

The founders of the academy were the sex viri nobiles senenses : lo Scaltrito (Archbishop Francesco Bandini Piccolomini ), l'Arsiccio ( Antonio Vignali ), l'Importuno ( Francesco Sozzi ), il Sodo ( Marcantonio Piccolomini ), il Moscone ( Giovan Francesco Franceschi ) and il Cirloso ( Alessandro Marzi ). One of the most active scholars in the first phase of the academy's activity was Alessandro Piccolomini (1508–1578).

The Academy had devoted itself to cultivating the poetry and eloquence of Tuscany , Latin and Greek, and especially the plays , and its own plays were also performed. In 1568, like all Sienese academies, it was banned by a decree by Cosimo de Medici . It later continued its work and it continues to this day.

The first and most famous piece performed was the comedy Gl'ingannati in five acts (1531). It was heavily inspired by ancient comedy and translated into French in 1542 by the humanist Charles Estienne (1504–1564) under the title La Comédie du Sacrifice ou Les Abusés .

Del Sacrificio is said to have been the model for Shakespeare's comedy What You Want .

A long list of pieces from the Intronati can be found in Della Commedie degli Intronati di Siena (Siena, 1611).
