Zan Ganassa (c. 1540 – c. 1584) was the stage name of an early actor-manager of Commedia dell'arte, whose company was one of the first to tour outside Italy.〔Senelick 1995a, p. 409.〕 Ganassa's real name was probably Alberto Naseli〔Hartnoll 1983, "Ganassa, Zan" pp. 313–314.〕 (also spelled Naselli).〔 He was known for playing ''zanni'', comic servant roles,〔 hence his stage name, and is one of the first actors believed to have played the ''zanni'' subtype known as Harlequin (''Arlecchino'' in Italian), which subsequently became one of the most important leading roles in Commedia dell'arte plays.〔Senelick 1995b, p. 472.〕 Ganassa is first mentioned in 1568 as the leader of a troupe in Mantua.〔 After his troupe had performed in Paris in 1571, they were invited by Charles IX of France to take part of the festivities surrounding the marriage of the King of Navarre (later Henry IV) to Charles's sister Marguerite de Valois in August 1572.〔〔Baschet 1882, (pp. 24–26 ).〕 From 1574 to 1584 Ganassa performed in Spain, where he exerted considerable influence on early Spanish professional theatre. He was so popular that the authorities in Seville withdrew the troupe's license: workers were neglecting their jobs in order to see the plays. Ganassa is mentioned numerous times by Lope de Vega, who may have based his comic servant ''gracioso'' on Commedia dell'arte types. The ''gracioso'' later became a stock character of Spanish comedia.〔 ==References== Notes Sources * Banham, Martin, editor (1995). ''The Cambridge Guide to the Theatre'' (new edition).
