Note 520 — V THE MASK

To the entremetz of France correspond the intermedii of Italy. These, as described by Creizenach, ii. 419; D'Ancona, ii. 168, 420; Symonds, Shakspeare's Predecessors, 321; Renaissance in Italy, v. 122; Prunières, 28; Cunliffe, Early English Classical Tragedies, xxxix, and in M. L. A. xxii. 150 and M. P. iv. 597, were entr'actes to late fifteenth and early sixteenth-century plays, but very similar shows were given independently at banquets; e. g. the mimetic chori with Silenus for risus devised by Bergonzio Botta for the wedding of Giangaleazzo Sforza and Isabella of Aragon at Tortona in 1489 (Calchi, Nuptiae Mediolaniorum Ducum in Graevius, Thesaurus, ii. 1, 509). Trionfi are primarily out-of-door processions with cars.
