The history and fortune of Capitan Spaventa of Vall’Inferna is inextricably linked to his creator and interpreter Francesco Andreini (1548-1624).
Arlecchino is the most famous of the Commedia dell’Arte masks. It probably has French origins (Herlequin or Hallequin was a demon figure in Medieval French tales), and in the 16th and 17th centuries it became the Commedia players’ mask, together with the role of the second zanni (in Bergamo dialect, a nickname for Giovanni), a crafty servant figure who is a thief, liar and trickster, at loggerheads with his master and obsessed with getting money to buy food to satisfy his enormous appetite.
The beginning of the 19th century saw the beginning of Gioppino in the area of Bergamo, even if very little is known about its precise origins.
Columbine is certainly the most famous of the Commedia servants and probably one of the oldest masks.
This mask probably originated in the Bergamo area, but its fame derives from actor Carlo Cantù (1609-1676 circa) who played the part for many years
