Definition
A stock character in Italian commedia dell'arte theater, a greedy and cowardly servant figure (also spelled 'Covello').
Etymology
From Italian commedia dell'arte tradition, possibly derived from archaic Italian words related to covering or deception, reflecting the character's scheming nature.
Kelly Says
Coviello was so popular in medieval Italian theater that the character inspired similar archetypes across Europe—he's basically the ancestor of the 'bumbling sidekick' in modern comedy!
