Watching "I Pagliacci" (The Clowns) from a Private Box at Covent Garden London, Giclee Print

In Ruggiero Leoncavallo opera Pagliacci, the character Nedda is a “Columbina” from the Commedia dell’Arte, a form of improvisational pantomine theater.

As heavily made-up comic female servant, and played opposite a clueless Harlequin character, the “dove-like” Columbina is often the only character with any intellectual oversight of the situation.

The blue columbine is the Colorado state flower.
