Sicily has a strong tradition of puppet theater, featuring legends of ancient battles and heroic deeds. You can read much more about the fascinating tradition in this article and this one.
These legends are incorporated into the St. Alfio festival in scenes depicted on the horse's harnesses and on the carts. But more unusual than that is the mounting of puppet figurines onto the backs of some of the horses! Thanks to loyal reader Al Zammataro for sharing these photos!
