A series of unique rich texture of a strong expressive value that reinvents this ancient folk tradition, in a sort of portrait "extreme" in which prevails the idea of ??the character or type of character: elements of his particular specimens "theater".

Along with these multicolored fabrics returns to be exhibited in the permanent collection of the Museum of the famous "Teatrino Grimani ai Servi" (named after the Venetian family that owned it), or "Punch and Judy", recently undergone a thorough restoration that 'brought back to its former glory.
