Regardless of the season, of the special atmosphere of Christmas or of the bright colours of spring and summer, only one thing matters: the opera dei pupi is one of the most magical and unique traditions of Sicily. And, to enjoy the skills of the puppeteers and the charm of the stories, you have to know the names of the most important and famous Sicilian puppets.
The origins of stories and characters are epic poems such as The song of Roland, Jerusalem Delivered and Orlando furioso. Poems that the ancient puppeteers, despite being nearly illiterate, knew by heart.
