Giovanni Gabrielli (actor)

Giovanni Gabrielli (actor)

Giovanni Gabrielli (died between 1603 and 1611) was an Italian actor of the commedia dell'arte, who performed under the name Sivello.[1]

Biography

Gabrielli was particularly famous for portraying several characters talking together in different languages.[1] The 18th-century historian Francesco Saverio Quadrio relates that Gabrielli was able to impersonate women with his voice only, without the benefit of a costume change.[2] His portrait was engraved by Agostino Carracci.[3]

His son Francesco Gabrielli was also a well known actor.[1]

Publications

Two works of Gabrielli were published in Bologna in the early 17th century:[4]

  • Villanelle Nuove Composte per Giovanni Gabrielli detto il Sivello (Bologna, 1601)[5]

  • Il Studio, Comedia Nova, Composta per Giovanni Gabrielli da Modona, detto il Sivello (Bologna, 1602)[6]
