The puppets of Venice between history and tradition
The puppets of Venice between history and tradition
The ancient art of puppetry lives in Venice, in an artisan atelier in Santa Fosca, in the heart of Cannaregio. For over 27 years, articulated characters with colorful clothes and stories waiting to be discovered were born here. Visit the laboratory and be enchanted by the dreamlike atmosphere that reigns inside, on the first floor of a 17th century Venetian palace. Learn more about the manufacturing techniques, observe the wooden bodies being shaped and admire the making of the clothes, designed and sewn in the workshop itself. A tour to come into contact with a timeless activity of extraordinary charm.
