The UNESCO recognized opera dei pupi was a popular form of entertainment in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Before film and television, it was a favorite form of diversion for men and boys (It’s actually pretty violent and bawdy!). Our hero Orlando and the knights and their enemies recall the age of chivalry, originating from medieval French epic poems, especially featuring King Charlemagne, pictured seated on the throne.

During both Myths and Mysteries of Sicily: As Above/So Below in May and Stunning Sicily in October, you’ll become a kid again at the opera dei pupi.
