DISCOVERING PAPER MACHE

Future projects brought the students of the "Cartapesta Project" of the comprehensive "Croce-Mozzillo" Institute to visit the backstage of our float entitled "WHO WANTS TO BE HAPPY, SIA ..." which will parade at the 2017 Carnival of Manfredonia, all this in order to introduce students to the prestigious processing of Sipontina papier-mâché. The pupils accompanied by their Professors listened in amazement to the master papier-mâché of our association Raffaele Leone who illustrated the techniques of realization and Marialucia Rinaldi who explained the ALLEGORY of our float. Furthermore, thanks to the “Noi del Carnevale” association, the children were able to visit a first-class float during its construction. Thanks go to Prof. Piera Fattibene, Director of Croce Mozzillo, for giving the pupils the opportunity to participate in this exciting initiative. Our association, with this and other similar activities, wants to bring children closer to the world of the art of papier-mâché, hoping that among them in the near future there will also be a papier-mâché master. We are convinced that to keep traditions alive like that of papier-mâché children must be actively involved from an early age, as has been done with this exciting initiative.
