Polichinelle, French character, particularly prominent in
puppet-shows, which derived from the
commedia dell'arte mask
Pulcinella. Like his prototype, he was humpbacked with a big hooked nose, but not at all doltish, being regarded by many as the epitome of quick wit and sardonic Gallic humour. He flourished particularly in Lyon and the surrounding district, and in 1660 was imported into England in the wake of Charles II's entourage, where as Punchinello he took fashionable society by storm and was transmogrified into the very English figure of
Punch.
