The last « Maestro » of Sicilian Puppetry
The historical centre of Palermo houses the last « Opera dei Pupi ». An ancient marionette theatre, the tradition links its roots back to the ‘chanson de geste’ (Songs of deeds) era (Old French literary epics), and Mimmo Cuticchio is it’s sole heir. At 65 years of age, this master of the trade is continuing a family tradition that has spanned a number of centuries. It is a Sicilian art where knights from the time of the crusades are the heroic protagonists in intricate painted frescoes. Francis Ford Coppola has dedicated a scene to Mimmo in the Godfather III. And UNESCO has designated Sicilian Puppet Theatre as part of humanity’s « oral and intangible heritage ». Welcome to the universe of Palermitan puppetry and its star: Mimmo Cuticchio!

Ships breaking men
The shipbreaking yards of Chittagong, Bangladesh.
The Chittagong’s shipbreaking industry is one of the biggest in the world. The growing demand for steel, combined with cheap labour costs are attracting the biggest ships to Bangladesh. But there, the situation is catastrophic: no safety at work, no environmental awareness. Facing the distress of workers who are struggling to survive, it shows a social tragedy in front of an ecological disaster.

300 years BC, the lycians implemented the first federal republic in history, offering to humanity, with 20 century ahead, the first example of democratic governance. Barak Obama apparently thinks seriously about it: celebrate the 225 th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution in Patara, in Lycia, in southern Turkey.
