Accademia degli Intronati

The ''Accademia degli Intronati'' was a prominent literary and scholarly society in Siena. It was founded between 1525 and 1527 as a gathering place for aristocracy, and was prominent by the 1550s.

The first publicly hosted event was the comic play ''Gl'ingannati'', written collectively by the Intronatis. A characteristic of the Academy was its preference for comedy and the targeting of a female public. This distinguished the plays of the Academy's first wave of productions. Provided by Wikipedia
