To follow up on an item in E. K. Chambers, check out Beatrice White, *An
Index to "The Elizabethan Stage" and "William Shakespeare" by Edmund
Chambers* (Oxford U.P. 1934, rpt. New York: Benjamin Blom, 1964). The
entry for "Activities (acrobatics, tumbling)" has 50-60 entries.

This possibly adds Windsor and Reading to the frame:
>574 A.D. - Zan Ganassa Company is in Madrid. Gelosi Company invited to
>Venice to play for French King Henry III (the third son of Catherine de
>Medici) at his request. First record of Confidenti Company. Record of
>Italian performers in England at Windsor and Reading (did Shakespeare see
>these?)
http://www.commedia-dell-arte.com/timeline2.htm
The source of the information is given as follows:
The Commedia dell'Arte: A Documentary History by Kenneth Richards and
Laura Richards and the website of I Commedianti Giorgiani (no longer
online).
>2. The Commedia dell'Arte: A Documentary History by Kenneth Richards and
>Laura Richards (Basil Blackwell, Ltd., UK/1990) is an amazingly
thorough and
>well-documented treatise on the history, characters, companies,
>performances, and world influences of Commedia. If you can find this book,
>there are translated documentations at the end of each chapter (some of it
>for the first time in English) justifying the chapter's details, and a
>thorough chronology from 1545-1763 after the preface. It has limited but
>unique B & W pictures. I'm trying to find a copy of this book for my
library
>because it is so thorough.

Hope this helps a little.

(If memory serves): don't the Italian tumblers turn up in volume 4 of
Chambers, among the documents of control?
