Question: what are arlecchino and pulcinella?
Answer: The mask of Arlecchino is black and, to pay homage to his origins, it displays a remnant of his once devilish horns; to portray his agility, the mouth is that of a cat. ... After Arlecchino, possibly the most famous of Italian masks is that of Pulcinella, the bumbling spaghetti eating fool.
