Tell me more

More than just staging a show, the Napoli family will explain to students, tourists and lovers the technique and the rules of this old tradition inside their traditional lab in Via Reitano, situated in the heart of Catania.

The members of the family work with hand puppets, costumes, sceneries and all that is required for a show. The most interesting thing about Sicilian puppets is that each of them is a unique work of art: a wooden sculpture with metal and cloth.

You can join the tour from Taormina or Siracusa. See Sicily attractions.

Enjoy Sicily!
