Question: what is the difference between the first zanni and second zanni in commedia dell'arte?
Answer: SECOND ZANNI: silly servants like the famous Harlequin and Pulcinella. They become more famous than the First Zanni thanks to the ability of the actors and to the impact on the public. During the transition, Harlequin was called Zan Ganassa, the first Italian who brought the Commedia dell'arte to Spain.
