Francesco d’Ambra, Il furto, ed. Vanni Bramanti, trans. Linda L. Carroll, with an edition of Francesco Corteccia’s entr’acte music by Alexander Dean and an essay on Corteccia’s music and Ugolino Martelli’s lyrics by Anthony M. Cummings. Italica Press, 2025. This edition is based on the prompt copy recently discovered by Vanni Bramanti. Il furto is the only Italian Renaissance play for which both entr’acte music and lyrics have survived. This edition by including all of these elements allows the original staging to come fully alive.
