Pulcinella, one of the
zanni or comic servant masks of the
commedia dell'arte, a humpbacked, doltish fellow. In his Italian form he originated from Naples. Little is known of his roles or of his original dress, but he is important as the ancestor of the French
Polichinelle and the English
Punch. Some Italian critics believe that the popularity of Pulcinella and the disproportionate attention paid to his buffoonery was one of the main reasons for the decline of the
commedia dell'arte.
