Description
"In the famous Chianti town of Montepulciano there is a unique feature to the clock on the medieval, Torre di Pulcinella. On top of the tower is a aEPulcinellaaE figure, (as we would have him known as aEPunchaa, of Punch and Judy fame),which strikes the hours on the bell with his hammer. This life-size Pulcinella, the black-and-white masked clown from Naples, was left by a philandering Neapolitan bishop who was exiled to Montepulciano for his dalliances."
