In the “commedia dell'arte”, a malicious yet charming servant-girl, a comical character like her suitor Harlequin, Colombine is likeable on account of her coquetry and feminine shrewdness.

She is also known not only as Colombine but also as Arlecchina, Corallina, Ricciolina, Camilla and Lisetta and later becoming the elegant Marionette in Carlo Goldoni's 'Crafty Widow'.

The costume is simple, similar to Harlequin's with numerous multicolored patches.

She wears a white cap, the same color as her apron.

Colombine speaks Tuscan dialect but , like her lover, she doesn't disdain other dialects.
