Via della Giudecca 22, 96100, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy
Website (in Italian)
The puppet lab is across the street. If you visit, please be mindful that is an artist studio with working artists. Be respectful, quiet and refrain from touching unless offered.
There is also a wonderful puppet museum, the Museo Aretuseo dei Pupi at Piazza San Giuseppe, 96100, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy, that is also run by the Vaccaro-Mauceri Company and tells the fascinating story of how their family kept the art of puppetry alive in Ortigia. Their website is here and I will post about the museum, which is also worth a visit, at a later time.
