Il Dottore is one of the classic Commedia Dell'Arte Characters. He was a
response to all the new "scholars" pouring out of the new University
at Bologna. Dottore thinks he knows everything, but he really knows nothing much
at all; his Latin, which he is constantly spouting, is atrocious. In fact,
the only thing he is usually right about is the location of the nearest
feast. Il Dottore is a gourmand in extemis, led by his
belly.
This is the
traditional style Dottore mask, covering only the nose and forehead, and
pitch black. When ordering, please make clear (by catalog
number) which Dottore you
are interested in. |
