Abstract

The mechanisms of seduction of audiences were used by beggars, especially the cerretani, by charlatans and by buffoons. Artistics activities participated in the sale of a place to heaven and the sale of medicines and health services. Finally, they became the exclusive sale of shows. This last step required the professional specialization of actors and acrobatics artists at the market of spectacles, mediated by a businessman.
