Pulcinella represents Naples and the Napolitano spirit of life.He is known for his costume of white and a simple black mask.

As legend has it, Pulcinella avoided work and trouble through his disguise.While working in the pizzeria, he was more of an entertainer than a worker.

Pulcinella would plat and dance around, but when the ax fell,he would hide in the flour bin escaping the troubles of life.

For this reason, Pulcinella is a true representative of the child in us all.The spirit of happiness is Pulcinella.
