MACCHIETTA of the Italian , textually manchita , musical comedy monologue characterizing a typical character that allowed to analyze the reality . The fascist regime of Benito Mussolini financed the cinemas and that contributed to create the AVANTSPETTACOLO, (before the show), revues or variety show that were presented before the film. Over time these shows led to striptease shows so these terms became synonymous with low-quality shows, until their disappearance in the late 900s.
