	Arlecchino
		Arlecchino (also known as Harlequin, in French) is the most popular of the zanni or comic servant characters from the Italian Commedia dell'Arte.
		Arlecchino traditionally wore an outfit of patches and rags which evolved into the lozenge-shaped motley seen today.
		Arlecchino often had a love interest in the person of Columbina which lust was only superseded by his desire for food or fear of his master.

	Arlecchino (Harlequin)
		One is that Arlecchino is based on the myth of the 'damned devils' -- Germanic knights that died fighting against the Normans.
		Arlecchino is usually a servant of Pantalone, Capitano or Dottore.
		Arlecchino is a paradox in that his agile, quick body doesn't match up with his slow mental processing.

		Bart Simpson is a sort of modern Arlecchino.
		Arlecchino is always moving, in acrobatic and agile ways.
		Like Zanni, Arlecchino is led by his nose--his head follows an object, and then his body goes after it.

	BERGAMO TOUR
		A fl mask with a little spot on his forehead, a cap on his head and an unmistakable multi-coloured dress, Arlecchino, the dull and pretty ingenuous servant renowned all over the world, is from Bergamo.
		The deep origins of this mask character can be found in the Bergamo's tradition of the zanies, the comedy characters with their cheeky looks, grimaces, pirouettes and capers: they were usually servants and speak in an international dialect of Bergamo.
		Arlecchino’s comicality comes out of his lively gestures, his harsh, incomprehensible way of speaking, his matchless aptitude for getting into trouble.

	Arlecchino, Servant of Two Masters - Carlo Goldoni
		The lineage began in the 16th century, was codified in the 18th by Venetian playwright Carlo Goldoni (and others) and has been well-preserved by the Piccolo Teatro di Milano.
		And part of Arlecchino’s traditional role is an ever-present hunger.
		It is a part he first performed in 1960 and he continues to inhabit the role with an impish joy that may look tried, but definitely rings true.

	mondo marion: Arlecchino
		And Arlecchino's virtuosic series of "lazzi" (gags) involving a soup tureen, wiggly pudding, flying cookware and prodigious bodily contortions traces arcs of comic grace across the stage.
		Ferruccio Soleri, who first played Arlecchino 45 years ago during an earlier New York visit by the Piccolo Teatro, is both hapless and cunning, wistful and ravenous as the servant whose hunger drives him to serve two masters.
		A gauzy curtain reveals backstage scrambles, and the set consists of a stage within a stage in whose wings a prompter feeds characters their lines while players rehearse and react along with the audience.

	Arlecchino, Servant of Two Masters: review on TheaterMania.com
		He reinvigorated Arlecchino by presenting it as it might have looked when Goldoni decided in the middle of the 18th century that it was high time to codify the long-developing commedia dell'arte tradition.
		Where the famished Arlecchino figures into all this is that he's been retained by both Beatrice and Florindo and must try to satisfy the pair of them, which he accomplishes only intermittently.
		When I saw Arlecchino at the Odeon in Paris in the summer of 1997, just a few months before Strehler died, the only illumination appeared to be nine candles at the edge of the stage.

	Arlecchino and the benandanti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		When a child was born so, he or she was educated to alter the perception in order to fight Witches and Sorcerers in a period called of the Four Ember Days, but just in that period of the year.
		The mask of ARLECCHINO is put on by every Apprentice Witch or Sorcerer whose activity introduces variables of FREEDOM inside the Social System in which she or he lives.
		That battle is a display of his/her Being Power, Aim and ability to call the GODS of the objectivity in which he or she acts, so that the GODS will support him/her.

	Museo Arlecchino Harlequin's San Giovanni Bianco
		La presenza dell'uomo selvatico sui muri del palazzo di Oneta e' stata presa per l'originale matrice della maschera di Arlecchino: nell'immaginario popolare l'uomo selvatico e' infatti brutale, ma insuperabile espressione di vitalita', idice estremo di quanto puo' sopportare ed escogitare contro i rigori della fame, del freddo e della miseria.
		E' fuor di dubbio, infatti, che la primitiva gestualita' di Arlecchino, rivelatasi solo nella rozza tipologia dello Zanni e raffinitasi solo nelle piu' tarde esperienze teatrali, fu in origine grottescamente desunta da una goffa e istintiva animalita' che poco si discosta dalle fattezze rustiche e villane dell'homo selvaticus.
		Va considerato, a tale proposito, che Arlecchino, vestiva sulla scena i panni del servo balordo e opportunista, quale erano nella realta' i numerosi valligiani brembani che allora popolavano la citta' lagunare svolgendo lavori umili e faticosi.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Culture \| Arlecchino in Cairo
		It was as if Ciulli and his dramaturge and actors had done to the play what King Lear had wanted to do to Regan: to anatomise her to see the evil that breeds round her heart.
		They had rent the glossy surface of the play to bare the facts of cultural, racial and class oppression that underlie the position and funny antics of Arlecchino (or Truffaldino -- as he is called in the play).
		I remembered her tribute as I watched Soleri performing Arlecchino and wondered whether, with all acclaim and the comfortable life-style the actors of Il Piccolo Teatro di Milano are enjoying today, he was really a chip off the old block.

	Classical Net Review - Busoni - Arlecchino, Turandot
		Arlecchino comes across as a graft of Till Eulenspiegel and Ubu Roi.
		Arlecchino goes off with the tailor's wife, while his own abandoned wife, Colombina, takes up with a nobleman, and the tailor is lost in the ecstasy of reading Dante (ironically enough, the Francesca da Rimini episode in the Inferno).

		Arlecchino's House, this page [in Italian] says something about a 400 year old house in Venice.
		Antonio Fava has said that it is possible that Arlecchino, as Tristano Martinelli invented him, may have been more like an 'Africino'.
		Another interesting point is that Martinelli did not play him with a Bergamo accent, though by the seventeenth century, he was usually played that way.

	Arlecchino (The Harlequin) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)

	Arlecchino
		Nella seconda meta' del cinquecento fu proprio un Bergamasco, Alberto Ganassa di Oneta di San Giovanni Bianco che, dopo i brillanti esordi presso le corti dei Gonzaga ed egli Estensi, vesti' i panni di Arlecchino nientemeno che davanti ai Sovrani di Francia e di Spagna.
		E qui si innesta il riferimento ad Arlecchino; questa maschera vestiva i panni del servo balordo e opportunista, quale erano nella realta' i valligiani brembani dediti nella citta' lagunare a lavori umili e faticosi.
		Il ruolo iniziale si arricchi' di forme e contenuti, favorendo l'imporsi del personaggio Arlecchino, colorito di licenziosa e pungente comicita' che veniva apprezzata in quanto non oltraggiava l'orgoglio Veneziano, ma prendeva di mira il tipo del servitore Bergamasco, costretto ad agguzzare l'ingenio per questioni di soppravvivenza.

		The audience thought that the slip (after she got up and continued chasing Arlecchino off stage with his own slapstick) was on purpose, and she got a great round of applause.
		The only problem is that the site was a gym in a school, right next to a major bus-stop in downtown San Francisco -- we have several spots where the sound of the busses nearly drowns out the play...

	Oneta di San Giovanni Bianco
		Un pugno di case antiche, alcune delle quali restaurate nel rispetto della struttura originaria, contribuiscono a dare alla contrada un’atmosfera d’altri tempi che si respira pienamente percorrendo le anguste vie porticate, sui cui si affacciano rustici portali in pietra, ballatoi in legno intagliato, strette finestre protette da inferriate.
		Le origini di Oneta frazione di San Giovanni Bianco risalgono probabilmente al periodo delle invasioni barbariche e la sua storia è legata a quella della nobile famiglia dei Grataroli cui appartenne la casa “ dell’ Arlecchino.” Fin dagli inizi del Trecento, il territorio del borgo faceva parte della Pieve di Dossena.
		Il palazzo apparteneva in origine alla potente famiglia locale dei Grataroli i cui componenti vantavano ricchezze e fortune acquisite a Venezia e avevano poi voluto nobilitare l’edificio di Oneta quasi ad ostentare in patria, con questo segno tangibile, il livello della potenza raggiunta.

	Arlecchino's Surprise
		The Mel Gibson comment about Arlecchino in the program/cast list is based on the prologue -- I (Hirsch) came out and did a bit about how we had tried to get Mel Gibson to do the part of Arlecchino, but he couldn't make it, so we did the best we could, and got Patrick Stuart.
		Of course, the show doesn't actually have a character named Arlecchino, so the crew's in-joke was that the "ubiquitous bench" (which appears in most of our productions after this one -- it was made by William of the Merlands for us) was named Arlecchino.
