Another kind of working class hero
is Pulcinella from Napoli. The mask for this pot-bellied hunchbacked
cuss is strikingly similar to the mask of Maccus, from the ancient
Roman Comedies and is recognizeable for its huge hook beak of
a nose. Pulcinella spawned the the very politically incorrect
Mr Punch of the Brutal English Punch and Judy puppet shows.
