Maschera di Pulcinella — authentic souvenir of Napoli€30-€80

Maschera di Pulcinella in Napoli

It is a mask made of leather, papier-mâché, or ceramic, traditionally black in color. The face features a high forehead, hollowed cheeks, and a long, curved nose. It is sometimes paired with the white cone-shaped hat and the collar of the traditional costume. Artisan versions are shaped and painted by hand, with slight variations that make every face unique.

It is a face that tells the story of Napoli better than any panorama. It is chosen by travelers who want to understand the city’s ironic and profound soul. It is ideal for those looking for a keepsake that represents not just a character, but a way of seeing the world.
