The name Pierrot is a French that derives from the Italian character of the commedia dell’arte, one of the first Zanni, Pedrolino, played in the famous Compagnia dei Gelosi by Giovanni Pellesini at the end of the sixteenth century. The character was brought to France, where he became part of the repertoires of the French companies with the name of Pierrot thanks to the contribution of Giuseppe Geratoni who first introduced him in 1673; but the first great Pierrot was still an Italian, Fabio Antonio Sticotti (1676-1741). Later the character was perfected by his son Antonio-Jean Sticotti (1715 -1772) who also exported it to Germany.
