Canovaccio A canovaccio is a scenario used by "commedia dell'arte" players. It consisted only of a list of acts and scenes; the details were left to the improvisation of the actors. Actors in the "commedia dell'Arte" thus had to be endowed with an inventive mind since the success of the play depended largely on their creativity and above all on their "lazzi" (jokes and gags). The spotlight fell on the actors rather than on the play itself.
