A striking figurine of Capitan Spaventa, one of the most iconic characters of the Italian Commedia dell’Arte. Handmade in Arezzo (Tuscany, Italy) by Angini silversmith during the 1980s/1990s, this enameled piece reflects both theatrical tradition and fine silversmithing.
Capitan Spaventa, “the boastful Captain”, is known for his flamboyant costume, exaggerated gestures, and bravado. In the theatre tradition, he often bragged of his courage and conquests, though his cowardice was usually revealed when truly tested. This figurine captures that larger-than-life personality, blending silver artistry with cultural storytelling.
