Laughter

He is:
" Stenterello"

This is the most typical of the Florentine masks, famous for its Tuscan wit and trenchant good humour. It was first performed at the "Teatro dei Fiorentini" in Naples. Luigi del Buono, a former clockmaker, invented it after he had been struck by Pulcinella’s popularity in the south and decided he would invent something similar for Florence.
Stenterello always laught about himself!
Laughter is nature's stressbuster!
