I think Rossi is adding to English more words, coming in some sense from Italian, than in the last 5 centuries. Clownerie has been translated by Akira into travesty. Clownerie is another Rossi's invention, if I can imagine what take places into his brain I think the right path is clown ==> pagliaccio ==> pagliacciata (the act of being a clown) ==> clownerie; I think it should be translated into buffoonery (clowning, silly behaviour)
