La Signora (pronounced [la siɲˈɲoːra]; an Italian phrase which translates to "the lady" in English) is a character in Commedia dell'arte. She is the wife of Pantalone and the mistress of Pedrolino. She is tough, beautiful and calculating, and wears very wide dresses along with very heavy makeup. She walks with a flick of the toe and her arms held far out to the sides of her body. A common lazzo of La Signora is to have a fight with another woman, as she is very proud and often ridicules others.
