Pantalone is a stock character who represents one of the vecchi (old men) in Commedia dell'Arte, a style of improvisational theatre that was formed in Italy in the 16th century.
The archetypal old (and often lecherous) miser, Pantalone is generally portrayed as a Venetian with a long beard, a hooked nose, a money pouch on his belt, and red breeches and stockings. In fact, the name Pantalone has provided a source for the English word pantaloons from those distinctive breeches that typify the character's costume.
Otherwise, you might be referring to Joe Pantalone (born 1952), who is a Canadian politician, city councillor for Ward 19, and deputy mayor of Torontio, Ontario. Consider visiting his web site for more information: http://www.joepantalone.org/
