Languages?
Most names seem to be compatible with "Italian" (i.e. a variety of Tuscan), Zanni is Venetian, what else? Pulcinella was a Neapolitan character, wasn't Neapolitan used too, at least in the South? 89.64.81.126 (talk) 23:06, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

add Brian David Gilbert to this page for modern pop culture influence?

Italics for the term (and title)
Two English dictionaries, New Oxford American (Third Edition) and The American Heritage Dictionary (Fourth Edition), include this term and do not italicize it, and The New Grove Dictionary of Opera does not italicize it either, i.e., it is commonly treated as a loanword in English. Maybe we should not italicize it either. Robert.Allen (talk) 15:28, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
