Pedro Francisco de Lanini

Pedro Francisco de Lanini y Sagredo (c.1640 – c.1715) was a playwright of the Spanish Golden Age. He was a prolific writer of both dramas and farces. He was particularly known for his many entremés. In addition to being a playwright he also worked as a censor of plays for the Spanish authorities.
