Duchartre lists the following as variations on the Harlequin role:

'''[[Trivelino]]''' or '''Trivelin'''. Name is said to mean "Tatterdemalion". One of the oldest versions of Harlequin, dating to the 15th century. Costume almost identical to Harlequin's, but had a variation of the 17th century where the triangular patches were replaced with moons, stars, circles and triangles. In 18th century France, Trivelino was a distinct character from Harlequin. They appeared together in a number of comedies by [[Pierre de Marivaux]] including ''[[L'Île des esclaves]]''.<ref name=":0">Oreglia 1968, p. 65.</ref>

'''Truffa, Truffaldin or Truffaldino'''. Popular characters with Gozzi and Goldoni, but said to be best when used for improvisations. By the 18th century was a Bergamask caricature.<ref name=":0" />

'''Guazzetto'''. In the seventeenth century, a variety of anonymous engravings show Guazzetto rollicking, similar to Arleqin. He wears a fox's brush, a large three-tiered collarette, wide breeches, and a loose jacket tied tightly by a belt. He also dons a neckerchief dropped over the shoulders like a small cape. Guazzetto's mask is characterised with a hooked nose and a mustache. His bat is shaped like a scimitar-esque sword.<ref name=":0" /><ref>Duchartre 1929, pp. 159–160.</ref>

'''Zaccagnino'''. Character dating to the 15th century.

'''Bagatino'''. A juggler.

'''[[Pedrolino]] or Pierotto'''. A servant or valet clad in mostly white, created by Giovanni Pellesini.<ref name=":0" />
