Zagna "lunga"
Summary
<Summary summary={manifest.summary} />
In early zannesque comedy, all the female characters were comic, grotesque, and played by men. Zagna, the feminine counterpart to Zanni, is the formal, comic-grotesque exaggeration of the woman. The actors wore female clothing over an exaggerated female body, an effect achieved with the addition of excessive, carnivalesque accessories. The Zagna mask, similar if not identical to the male mask, was worn with a scarf to cover the head.
