Visit to the historical monuments of Marineo (PA) June 21, 2026 Film and editing by Salvatore Favata. The museum collects the most significant evidence of the archaeological sites discovered in the Eleutherus Valley. Punic artefacts (statuettes, arules, and coins), Hellenistic funerary objects (lekythoi, craters) and late Roman objects (glasses, jewelry, everyday objects), fragments of Arab and Norman-Swabian glazed amphorae. Puppet Theatre-Museum. The most lively and traditional show in Sicily is, without a doubt, the Marionette Theatre or 'Pupi'. The Puppet Theatre is connected to the Arab-Norman traditions of chivalry. Legends of ladies and knights, the idealized figure of Roger slaughtering the Muslims, the Knights of the Round Table, Breton and Carolingian heroes, and King Arthur are the characters, interpreters of the thousand stories told by the "Pupari." But even before the 19th century, storytellers, with their painted scenes, recounted the glorious deeds of the Paladins of France and the chivalric legends of all time. Saint Cyrus is the patron saint of Marineo (PA). A physician and hermit who lived in Egypt, he is solemnly celebrated in the town twice a year: on January 31st (the liturgical memorial of his martyrdom) and on the penultimate Sunday of August (the great feast), accompanied by the historic traveling reenactment known as the "Dimostranza."
