WHAT DOES CAPITANO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

capitano

Il Capitano

Il Capitano is a masked character from the commedia dell'arte. The Captain uses bravado and excessive shows of manliness to hide his true cowardly nature. He is often an outsider who can maintain his claims only by benefit of the fact that none of the locals know him. He is usually a Spaniard given the fact that for most of the late Renaissance to well into 17th century, parts of Italy were under Spanish domination. He was most likely inspired by the boisterous Iberic caudillos who told tall tales of their exploits either in the conquest of the Americas or in the wars with Germany. Il Capitano often talks at length about made up conquests of both the militaristic and carnal nature in attempts to impress others, but often only ends up impressing himself. He gets easily carried away in his tales and doesn't realise when those around him don't buy his act. He would be the first to run away from any and all battles and he has trouble enough talking to and being around women. He is also extremely opportunistic and greedy.
