Herbeys, France

Discover the fascinating history of Italy’s classic trickster Pulcinella,
(often called Punch in English and Polichinelle in French). Characterized
by his long nose and his crafty demeanor - while often pretending to be
stupid - Pulcinella originated in the Commedia dell’arte of the
17th century. With all his complexities and contradictions, Pulcinella
has gone on to become an archetypal character in puppet theatre the world
over.
