Zanni Mask
Zanni Mask
The character of Zanni was an older, impoverished man and hired servant of one of the other characters, typically Pantalone. Zanni's costume was loosely fitting white smock and pants. He wore traditionally a dark mask similar to his more popular descendant, Arlecchino. His behavior is a cartoon imitation of the impoverished rural folk of Bergamo who were forced to move to Venice in order to make a living. As such, his interests do not always coincide with those of his master. His primary goals are his own comfort and the satisfaction of various immediate desires.
