Don't forget The Taming of the Shrew!

Not all Shakespeare parallels equally well to commedia dell'arte. But of course, The Taming of the Shrew is thoroughly Italian --remember, I've come to wive it wealthily in Padua -- and if I recall my reading, there are theories that Shrew has more than one author or editor: that Shakespeare wrote the noblest parts, such as "I am ashamed that women are so simple," while the more conventional carryings-on in the play might be someone else's work.

I have never seen a commedia dell'arte adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew. I understand, however, that some of these have not only been staged, but have been recorded for posterity, and make wonderful videos. Anybody actually seen this?
