Popular culture comes alive in early November with the Morgana Festival, an international review of Opera dei Pupi (Puppet Opera). For some forty years, the Association for the Preservation of Popular Traditions has been organising, at the Antonio Pasqualino Puppet Museum, the interesting festival aimed at promoting this ancient Sicilian art. Puppet theatre, in which the protagonists are Charlemagne and his paladins, has been on the Historical and Intangible Heritage of Unesco list since 2008. During the event, the museum will host exhibitions, lectures, book presentations and, above all, performances, not only by Italian artists but also by Russian, French, Spanish, Turkish and Israeli companies.
