The meaning of "la commessa"?
This is the title of a chapter: "La 'Commessa' nell'ultimo 500 e gli Architetti del Primo Seicento." I understand that it means roughly "The 'Commessa" in the end of the 1500s and the architects of the early 1600s." But what does "la commessa" mean exactly? Thanks!

I think "Commessa" actually means a work commissioned from someone. It could be also the female "shop assistant", but cannot figure out what reference can be made to this in the seventeenth century. Honestly, the meaning in this context is not clear to me.
