EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century watercolor print captures the whimsical scene of Pulcinella, a beloved character from the commedia dell'arte, indulging in a plate of maccheroni while perched atop a donkey. Painted by an anonymous Italian artist, this charming artwork is housed in the Museo Nazionale delle Paste Alimentari, Fondazione Agnesi in Rome, Italy. Pulcinella's larger-than-life personality shines through as he relishes his meal with great gusto. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this playful moment to life, showcasing the mastery of the Italian School during this era. The juxtaposition of Pulcinella's gluttonous appetite against the humble donkey creates a delightful visual contrast. It speaks to our universal human desires and weaknesses while also highlighting the charm and humor found within traditional Italian culture. As one of the capital sins depicted here is gluttony, it serves as a reminder that even timeless characters like Pulcinella are not immune to temptation. This portrayal adds depth to an otherwise lighthearted image and invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with food and desire. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every nuance in her reproduction of this remarkable artwork. Through her lens, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance within Italian art history. This print is sure to delight any admirer of commedia dell'arte or those seeking a touch of whimsy for their collection
