Zanni mask handmade and painted by Segio and Massimo Boldrin (La Bottega dei Mascareri), Hand painted in brown this mask is a traditional character

Zanni (the name is where we get our word "zany") is a servant character who serves either Pantalone, Dottore, or Capitano. He never does well at his job, since all he thinks about is food or sleep. Often, he is distracted while on a mission, after hearing the name of a fruit--or after falling asleep. Zanni is stupid, poor, and slow, and therefore is the lowest character on the social scale. For a modern equivalent, think of Homer Simpson and his preoccupation with food.

The Boldrin brothers have hand crafted masks for the rich and famous and produced masks for theatre, films and opera productions all over the world
