Ciao from Stunning Sicily, Day 10! After an inspirational discussion about Santa Rosalia, our emotions were conjured. The will and faith of the people of Palermo touched our hearts -- especially the stories about father Puglisi and his work supporting the young minds of the city, aiming to undermine the power of the Mafia. After a typical Palermitano lunch in Vucciria market, our guide Tania led us on an awe-inspiring tour of Montreal Cathedral. Then, we had a special guided tour of Palazzo Gangi, the dazzling location of the ballroom scenes in 1969 Visconti film, The Leopard. Regretfully, no photos are allowed in the palace, but I assure you, it was an extraordinary crescendo from darkness to light! Our full day ended with a demonstration by Teatro Argento's Nicola, the 5th generation puppeteer, who showed us the joys of l'opera dei pupi. #experiencesicily #sicily #palermo #monreale #operadeipupi #santarosalia #cattedrale #solotravel #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #sicilytour #whatsicilyis #sicilytravel #viverelasicilia (at Palermo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVH2Ss2sg7B/?utm_medium=tumblr
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. Let's talk! Contact me at [email protected].

Live from Sicily! Day 9 of @experiencesicily Myths & Mysteries of Sicily: As Above/So Below. With the help of Francesco, we explored the excentric mind of the Prince of Palagonia at Villa Palagonia in Bagheria. The estate's hall of mirrors surprised and delighted. Once in the vibrant center of Palermo, the Argento family's Opera dei Pupi delighted. #palermo #bagheria #villapalagonia #operadeipupi #marionette #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #smallgrouptoursitaly (at Palermo, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByPGu8gFdIK/?igshid=17y49e4711m0l
Live from Sicily! We laughed, shouted, booed, and cried for Orlando during the opera dei pupi (marionette theater) last evening. The magnificent Opera di Pupi Turi Grasso theater company showed us the joys and craftsmanship of their multigenerational master work! We were all so inspired--The Grasso family and us too! #operadeipupi #marionettetheater #acireale #catania #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #smallgrouptoursitaly (at Acireale) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwYoTnoFMz-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xkjqmvzohkvx

Yesterday, our last official day of our Enchanting Sicily tour, we spent the evening in Palermo seeing the UNESCO recognized Opera dei Pupi at the Argento family's theater. I've become such a fan of this whimsical form of entertainment! When you allow yourself to be a kid, you will be amazed by Orlando's adventures and the puppeteers' amazing craftsmanship and artistry. Pictured is one of the Argento sons, who is the fourth generation working in this theater. After the show, we enjoyed a pizza party with my cousins in Santa Flavia along with live Sicilian folk music with Alfredo, Totò, and Ettore ... Head over to our Facebook page for some highlights!
