Dedication by: Claudia Contin Arlecchino
Actress, author, artist, known worldwide as the first woman who reinterpreted the masculine character of the figure of Harlequin . Continuously since 1987, she is also the only one in Europe to build by herself all her masks and the ones for her company, as now happens only in the East. Her creative versatility switches from the theater to figurative art, from the actorial dimension to the craft manufacture, in a renewed retrieval of the "homo faber" in the artistic research.
