By 'stock' characters I meant some of the simple fixed characters, such as the lazy servant, the gossipy maid, the grumpy old man, etc. that actors and play writers used, just like in the 'Punch and Judy' puppet shows. N.B. 'Punch' comes from the Italian character 'Pulcinella'! Carlo Goldoni didn't invent them, but rather developed these 'basic' characters. He is the most famous 'Commedia dell'Arte' writer because he was the first to write complete plays and not just rough plots. Saluti da Serena Salve Dee, sorry for the delay in my reply.

Essendo una grafica mi piace molto la storia e i costumi dei tutti i personaggi di quel vecchio stile di intrattenimento. Ho anche una passione per le maschere italiane e ho una piccola collezione. Mi piace di piu' le maschere con i lunghi nasi, ma anche quelle carine di Colombina! Quanto mi piace la comedia dell’arte!

I have used Word of the Day to extend my Italian knowledge for some years. Your comments on Italian life and culture flesh out what I already know. I am getting as much "Italian Immersion" as I can at present as my wife and I will be spending 2 months in Florence from the end of April. Cordiali saluti.
