What
is Pulcinella ? :-
It is a Neopolitan mask originating in Campania whose physical aspect
makes it look like a cockerel.The nose has the form of a beak which
ancients called "pullus gallinaceus".It is thought the entymology
of the word derives from the word"pullicinello" that is
pulcino or chick.Like Harlequin, punch is a stupid servant who sometimes
takes a contradictory personality.He can be both stupid and astute,
bold and cowardly and has an extremely lively expressiveness typical
of the Neoplolitans.Tiepolo immortalized more than one in paintings
in the villa of Zianigo which can now be marveled at in the museum
of the 18th century in Venice.The costume consists of a white coat
constarined by a belt, a long hat and a black mask which highlights
a hooked nose and wrinkles.
