Description
Pulcinella is one of the most iconic masks of Neapolitan theatre and the art of comedy.
Having become one of the most famous symbols of Naples, his personality, full of nuances and contradictions, perfectly reflects the spirit of the Neapolitan people: ironic, spontaneous and deeply connected to their cultural roots.
This composition, featuring a large and a small Pulcinella accompanied by a mandolin, tells the most authentic and popular side of Neapolitan tradition, combining art, music and theatre in a unique handcrafted creation.
All works are created according to the ancient tradition of Neapolitan sculpture.
