In an undated letter to Andrea Cioli, Secretary of State at Florence, Antimo Galli records the exploits of Antonio Foscarini, who was the Venetian ambassador in London between 1611 and 1615. Foscarini is given to visiting playhouses, accompanied by a single servant. The other day he went to the Curtain, 'a place as dubious as they come, and where you would never see the face of a gentleman.' Rather than pay a sixpence, Foscarini chose to stand in the yard ' among the rabble of porters and carters. When the players invited the audience to pick a play for the next day, Foscarini made a spectacle of himself by calling out a title.
