The character of the Captain, often Spanish, has been present in the dramaturgy and stage practices of the Commedia dell'Arte since the origins of this spectacular form in the middle of the sixteenth century. The popularity of the character, in addition to the favour he found with the spectators, is also attested by the traces left in the theatrical iconography along a path that begins with the late-sixteenth-century engravings of Ambrogio Brambilla and the frescoes of the Bavarian castle of Trausnitz and arrives at the eighteenth-century porcelain of the Germanic area, passing through the famous Balli di Sfessania by Jacques Callot and the great iconography of the Commedia dell'Arte in France.
