Burattini a Bologna con Wolfango 2025 | Cuccoliana

From June 26 to Sept. 18, every Thursday the Corte d'Onore of Palazzo d'Accursio, hosts the exhibition Puppets in Bologna with Wolfango 2025 | Cuccoliana.

In the 19th century, puppeteers Filippo and Angelo Cuccoli, father and son, started a true ‘Cuccioliana revolution’ in figure theater, presenting their shows in Piazza Maggiore and electrifying audiences with biting satire. With this new cycle of shows, 120 years after Angelo Cuccoli's death, we intend to celebrate the ancient repertoire of the puppeteers who founded the canons of Bolognese puppetry. The rich program will mix comedies, fairy tales and dramas under the banner of pure fun, with the lighthearted comedy of our wooden-headed heroes.
