The armor can be made of brass, copper or alpaca, of your choice, you can also let us know your preferences regarding the color of the garment and the feathers or entrust yourself to the hands and heart of our Master Puparo Salonia.

The Story of Orlando and his Durlindana sword

Son of Milone, Count of D’Anglante and Berta, sister of Charlemagne.

He was appointed Paladin of France following his multiple daring and valiant impressions in the fight against the Saracens

He married Aldabella and they lived happily and in love.

One day he met the beautiful Angelica and lost his head for her beauty, to forget her he turned headlong to fight the infidels in heroic deeds worthy of his valor, until he found death in the battle of Roscinvalle.

The passion for Sicilian puppets remains interned in the master Salonia for a long time without finding a real manifestation until, around the end of the 90s, he joins the Sicilian puppet theater company “Antica Compagnai Opera dei Pupi Puglisi family ”Founded by Don Ignazio Puglisi’s nephew, Manlio Puglisi.
The master Salonia becomes part of the company with the specific task of builder, after having learned through some meetings with the master Pulvirenti of Aciplatani some of the basic techniques of the construction of Sicilian puppets.
In the early 2000s the master Salonia enters the scene with the first entirely embossed brass puppet “Erminio from the golden star”. 

We can make all the characters of the Paladins of France and the Saracens. With Orlando’s photos you can see the quality of our work, just change the color of the garments and the Heraldic Shield that identifies each one of them.
