Sicily’s puppet theater, also known as Opera dei Pupi is as heart-warming as it is colourful and enchating. Narrating tales of bandits, dragons, princesses and chivalric knights, this is a unique tradition that has continued without interruption for more than 200 years.

own Sicilian puppet to take home with you!
