Subject: RE: Jacomo finane? What does that mean?
Hi, Nothing to add to the meaning of the song, just a link I noticed.
Some comments above have given Jackomo, or Giacomo, as a jester.
The best correlation I can think of is Danny Kaye in the film "The Court Jester" (1955)
"I'm Giacomo, Giacomo, My fame before me rings. King of jesters, And jester of kings!"
