"Gl'ingannati degli accademici intronati di Siena" by Unknown is a comedy written in 1531 and first performed in Siena in 1532. This collaborative work by the Accademia degli Intronati features a young woman who disguises herself as a boy to escape an arranged marriage. She becomes a page to the man she loves, delivering his romantic messages to another woman—who then falls for the disguised heroine. When her twin brother arrives, mistaken identities multiply into comedic chaos, inspiring Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
