Adriano Ferraiolo is a glove puppeteer from Salerno. He belongs to a family of puppeteers known for staging plays with Pulcinella, in large puppet booths with several puppeteers. He is the grandson of Pasquale Ferrajolo (the orthography changes according to the members of the family) and the son of Francesco. Like his father's company, Adriano Ferraiolo's company goes on long tours, staying several weeks in different places in Italy. He does not use a swazzle-like instrument to interpret the voice of Pulcinella.
