TYPICAL CARNIVAL TRADITIONAL MASKS !



PULCINELLA

Some masks worn this day belong to the Italian ancient tradition and symbolize the personality of  a specific  Italia region. For example in  the south of italy we have starting from Naples we have the funny, vivacious and poor: Pulcinella ! He is dressed in white with a black mask. He is conscius of the problems that he finds himself in  without taking it seriously,  moking in public powerful influncial people managing   to always  come out of it with a smile .
This famous and last character that I wanted to let you know about is utilized (like all the others characters as well) in  today Italy`s  teatre for aduts and children  as a part of the Italian past and future culture .



Still alive  and present!
