'''Silvio D'Amico''' (3 February 1887 – 1 April 1955) was an Italian theatre critic, journalist, and theorist of Italian theatre. Not a Fascist himself, D'Amico was the major theatre critic during the ''ventennio'', i.e. the twenty years (1922–1945) of Fascist rule in Italy. He was the first editor of the nine-volume ''Enciclopedia dello Spettacolo'' (''Encyclopedia of Performing Arts''), published between 1954 and 1965, that covered theatre, music, cinema, and dance. Most notably, he held an eminent position in theatrical study in Italy, giving his name to the Silvio D'Amico National Academy of Dramatic Art in Rome, Italy's most prestigious drama school.
