Le Maschere della Commedia dell'Arte
Scapino
This mask, part of the servant group, is particularly famous for his musical talent. He usually appears carrying a guitar, a custom probably due to the first interpreter, one Francesco Gabrielli (1588-1636), a fine actor and excellent singer, composer and musical instrument maker.Over the years the costume changed from a flowing white suit with a mask, pointed feathered hat, wooden sword into a typical Brighella attire, namely a beautiful white costume trimmed in various colours, and a whitened face instead of the usual mask. Molière managed to make Scapino famous thanks to the lead role he gave him in his 1671 play, “Les Furberies de Scapin”.

Maschera appartenente alla vasta schiera dei servi è però nota per le sue virtù musicali e canore, infatti appare sempre con la chitarra in mano. Questa caratteristica dovrebbe derivare dal suo primo interprete Francesco Gabrielli (1588 - 1636), valente attore, ma anche eccellente cantore, compositore e inventore di strumenti.
