Here are some of the local puppets (the Italian word for puppets is "pupi") ... these things are HUGE! Each of these three is close to 4-foot tall and around 125 - 150 pounds. They represent the medieval soldiers who forced the Moors out of Sicily. Most of the puppets in this collection are about 150 years old. Thursday, August 26, 2010
