Arlecchino (English spelling) [Italy]
One of the most well-known clowns who appear as servants or attendants in the Commedia dell'arte. It is said that the name is derived from Herlequin, a mischievous devil who appears in medieval French tales. Zan Ganassa, also known as Alberto Nazelli (c. 1540-1584), a comedian, gave the name Arlequin to Zanni, the prototype of the Commedia dell'arte clown, during a tour of France.
