The Epirota by Tommaso de Mezzo, erudite aristocrat, collector of Greek and Latin manuscripts, and acquaintance of some of the major cultural exponents of the 15th century, opens the series of comedies written in Venice in the second half of the 1400s and follows by almost 50 years the brief but intense theatrical career of Tito Livio Frulovisi. Despite references to contemporary events and suggestions offered by the comic tradition of its time, the Epirota shows in its plot and structure greater adherence to the models of Plautus and Terence and moves away from those characteristics strictly tied to the Medieval culture common in earlier humanistic theatre.
