By Luigi Serafini
From the enchanting and intriguing mind behind Codex Seraphinianus comes
this beautiful illustrated tribute to the famed Neapolitan character Pulcinella.
This delightful homage to Pulcinella (or "Punch" as he is referred to in English)
contains over one hundred extraordinary pencil illustrations, some of which are
depicted in comic-strip style. Divided into several scenes, it features the oddly
surreal and globally recognized character that originated in seventeenth-century
comedic theater and became a fixture in Neapolitan puppetry. Distinguished by
a long nose and typically dressed in white with a black mask, Pulcinella is often
depicted in various kinds of misadventures and singing about themes of love,
hunger, and money. In the typical fashion of author Luigi Serafini,
Pulcinellopaedia Seraphiniana is created in a unique language all its own, and is
filled with fascinating and mysterious illustrations that require thorough
examination and inference to decipher what the artist is
