- This stage costume was worn in private theatricals at Meleto Castle, Tuscany, Italy, a private residence owned by the Ricasoli family. The Ricasolis, an ancient aristocratic dynasty, also owned a Palazzo in via Maggio 7, Florence which also contained a private theatre.
The stiffness, embroidery and cut of the costume suggest that it was used for dancing. The hessian lining would have preserved the shape of the costume and the silver embroidery would have sparkled in the candlelight as the performer moved. The hemming on the left panel of the coat would also reveal the movement of the dancer's leg.
The stage coat is similar in style to a 'banyan' or morning coat, a popular style in the mid-eighteenth century, suggesting that it may have been re-purposed from a fashion garment. The costume also bears evidence of alterations in the nineteenth century. (en)
