Scapino
Scapino or Scapin is a character from the commedia dell'arte. He is a zanni, or servant, who fools his master. He was popularized by the actor Francesco Gabrielli, who became closely associated with the role in the early 17th century.
His name is related to the Italian word scappare ('to escape') and his name translates to 'little escape artist', in reference to his tendency to flee from fights, even those he himself begins. He is a Bergamo native.
