Valeria Brancaforte. Opera dei Pupi. 2024. 10 pages. 250 x 350 mm. 15 linocuts by Brancaforte printed in 1, 2 or 3 colours and on 3 different types of paper. Printed on a Reig manual press. 12 copies full bound by Brancaforte: 3 on Somerset paper, 3 on Drap paper (handmade Catalan paper), and 6 on Magnani Incisione paper. Price: €600. The Opera dei Pupi is a puppet theatre that emerged in Sicily in the mid-1800s and was proclaimed an Intangible Heritage of Humanity. I wanted to realise this project driven by the desire to pay tribute to my roots and to the very rich Sicilian popular culture.
