Puppet Theatre

The puppet theatre company creates shows for very young children and organises puppet-building workshops in kindergartens.
The first shows were created thanks to the work of Tinin Matnegazza, Vittorio Zanella and Elena Baredi. Recently, director Gabriele Tesauri has involved Riccardo Pazzaglia and Sandra Pagliarani, professional puppeteers.
