Cicisbeo

Luigi Ponelato, Il cicisbeo, etching, 1790

In 18th- and 19th-century Italy, the cicisbeo (UK: /ˌɪɪzˈb/ CHITCH-iz-BAY-oh,[1] US: /ˌ-/ CHEE-chiz-,[2] Italian: [tʃitʃiˈzbɛːo]; plural: cicisbei) or cavalier servente (French: chevalier servant) was the man who was the professed gallant or lover[3] of a woman married to someone else. With the knowledge and consent of the husband, the cicisbeo attended his mistress at public entertainments,[4] to church and other occasions, and had privileged access to this woman. The arrangement is comparable to the Spanish cortejo or estrecho and, to a lesser degree, to the French petit-maître.[5]
