Accesi, company of the
commedia dell'arte, first mentioned in 1590. Ten years later they were under the joint leadership of Pier Maria Cecchini, known as Fritellino, and Tristano
Martinelli, the first to play
Arlecchino, with whom they toured France. With them were Martinelli's brother Drusiano, Flaminio Scala (see
CONFIDENTI), and possibly Diana da Ponti, formerly leader of the Desiosi company. On their next visit to France they were without Arlecchino, and soon after Cecchini joined forces with the younger
Andreini; but the quarrels which ensued between their respective wives made it impossible for them to work together and Andreini withdrew. Little is known of the Accesi's later activities, though Silvio
Fiorillo, the first to play
Capitano Matamoros, was with them in 1621 and in 1632, the year of his death.
