Bravo, Zan Angelo!: A Commedia dell'Arte Tale by Daly, Niki. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780374309534.

A Commedia dellArte Tale set in the sun-drenched streets of Renaissance Venice. Angelo longs to be a clown as famous as his grandfather Zan Polo. But times have changed and Venetians no longer flock to see Zan Polos commedia dellarte troupe perform in the Piazza San Marco. On Carnival Day, Zan Polo reluctantly gives his grandson a small part, and Angelo rushes off, bursting with ideas, to visit the mask and costume makers and Aunt Rosa-bellas farmyard. Things dont go quite as planned for Angelo -- but that afternoon he redeems himself and revives his familys fortunes in a most surprising way. Celebrate the first triumph of a very young actor in Niki Dalys winning, lushly illustrated new picture book.
