Abstract

The Italian national theater is known for its longevity. It was a source of inspiration for many later theatrical schools. Behind the success of the Italian national comedy researchers underline the use of all special theatrical forms, such as the masks. Masks are considered to be one of the most complex theatrical forms of commedia dell’arte. The article examines the basis of mask formation (rituals, Atellan farces, Greek tragedy) identifying its functions in the Italian National Theater, as well as demonstrating the development of the mask at the historical and psychological levels.
