Lecce/Puglia Photo Gallery
Lecce
is a center for the craft of papier-mâché.
Local artisans construct life-size
religious statues, still used in
Lecce’s churches, where they
were a thrifty alternative to more
expensive stone or wooden carved
figures. This mask, also made from
papier-mâché, will
be worn during the Carnivale festivities
that precede Lent.
