The puppet theatre known as the Opera dei Pupi emerged in Sicily at the beginning of the nineteenth century and enjoyed great success among the island’s working classes. The puppeteers told stories based on medieval chivalric literature and other sources, such as Italian poems of the Renaissance, the lives of saints and tales of notorious bandits. The dialogues in these performances were largely improvised by the puppeteers. The two main Sicilian puppet schools in Palermo and Catania were distinguished principally by the size and shape of the puppets, the operating techniques and the variety of colorful stage backdrops. The Opera dei Pupi is the only example of an uninterrupted tradition of this kind of theatre. Book this incredible experience for your event and let your guests touch the Soul of Sicily!
The Arabs are thought to have brought the first Asian goats to Sicily in 800 AD, landing in the port of Marsala from where they spread throughout the island’s southwest. Named after the town of Girgenti (modern-day Agrigento) – the Girgentana goat breed is unmistakable for its long spiraled “corkscrew” horns. Their milk is renowned for its excellent balance between fat and protein. If you want to experience a day with these goats and their shepherds and taste their cheeses, then get in touch!
