Overview
We are glad to present the mysterious Neapoletan mask of Pulcinella as, in our opinion, it well represents the European artistic cultural heritage because once invented in our territory (Acerra) then it has spread in the puppet shows throughout Europe.
Indeed, over the centuries Pulcinella's legacy has transcended the national boundaries and gained international recognition also thanks to the famous composer Igor Stravinsky who composed a ballet in 1920 titled "Pulcinella," based on traditional Neapolitan character.
