Description
A man wearing a hat, a hairband, and a jacket with large buttons and, as it seems, an excessively long sleeve dances with one hand to his hip.
Peppe Nappa is a Sicilian character in the commedia dell’arte, similar to Giglio, or the French Pierrot. He is often portrayed as a lively and nimble manservant.
