Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The costume has a long history and a wide geographical spread: if we limit ourselves to considering its forms in Italy, we could form a vast terminological collection, which would follow the many transformations of ancient and modern customs through the most diverse interpretations. If the dress identifies the practices of every time - just think of the history of sartorial techniques, the implications both juridical, the sumptuary laws, the qualities and inheritances, both economic, for the costs of raw materials and marketing -, its functions of a social, ritual and institutional nature make it a costume, a symbol and a sign of clothing. Along with the language, costume identifies the diversity and identity of places, moments and characters, combining tradition with originality, uniqueness with repetition. The stage costume makes us live even today in the past, is an element of art and theater, cinema and entertainment. The folkloric and popular custom sets identitary roles, introduces the customs and tastes characteristic of a people in a specific historical period, in a specific geographical area. The construction of the costume brings together a vast terminology, which we can only mention here. We propose a short terminological path, in which to pay tribute to the influence of the Italian language in the context of the expressiveness of the costume, keeping the reference to the language that more than any other has competed and alternated with Italian, French .
