Commedia dell'arte is characterized by its improvised performances and stock characters. Examples include characters like Harlequin, a clever servant; Columbina, a witty maid; and Pantalone, a greedy old man. Popular scenarios often involved themes of love, mistaken identities, and social class conflicts, with plays such as "The Servant of Two Masters" by Carlo Goldoni illustrating the comedic elements of this theatrical tradition. The influence of commedia dell'arte can also be seen in modern theatrical forms, including improvisational comedy and certain aspects of contemporary sitcoms.
