For more than twenty-five years, the Morgana Festival’s exhibition of “pupi” (puppets), has brought to the stage its shows where historical Sicilian “pupari” exhibit. Companies that maintain the charm of a tradition that UNESCO has proclaimed a “Masterpiece of oral tradition and intangible heritage of humanity”. The Morgana Festival is the perfect blend of elite and popular culture through the use of chivalrous narrative, a source of imaginary material to revisit. The puppets were imported from Naples, where they came from Spain in the seventeenth century, and for the half of the 19th century the Opera dei Pupi spread all over Sicily. Pasqualino Museum, location of Morgana Festival has been recognized as an institution that promotes Sicilian Opera dei Pupi throughout the world.
