....... test of it both that the greater´s son has been able to install a theater of the Sicilian puppets to Stony Creeck, in the Connecticut, with which he has won to the theatrical festival of Indianapolis. "But it is and approximate imitation", Emanuele says not without a point of pleased rivalry "because the Sicilian puppets need the Mediterranean´s heat and impetus". 
lso on the opera of the Sicilian puppets, these extraordinary and festive personages that in the millennial family of the puppets have a great importance, tied up to the deeds of the paladins of France and on imagination of the Sicilian humble layers, the shade of the twilight is lowered. In fact to give an idea of the favor that up to yesterday they met, is sufficient say that only in the city of Caltagirone toward the end of 1935 it was possible to assist to the representations of two works of the Sicilian puppets, one to aristocratic character and one of the character popular, spectators stolen to the prose and the cinema.
Unfortunately this postwar period, the television´s passion has caused the progressive closing of the various opera of the Sicilian puppets, and now who wants to assist to the exceptional enterprises of Orlando and his sword Durlindana, it has to reach unbelievable places, as I have done in one night in the last spring, penetrating under the damp and smoky times of an old tannery to the doors in Palermo. To Cullias for the chronicle.
Only a country withstands still: Acireale. The population of the place have the merit to have saved an ancient tradition, they are able to jump irritated on the stage to grab to the throat the traitorous Gano of Maganza (generally he is paint with strong colors, grim, dominated by the black), but above all to the pressure of the two puppet-players (who work with Sicilian puppets), respectively Mariano Pennisi and Emanuele Macrì.........

In fact more than the rhythmic one to flash of the swords and of the armors and the brightness of the colors and the plumes, is really the wind of passion that emanates from his Italian strangled by the dialect lilts, that every evening succeeds in making the miracle to thrill a Roman´s public sceptic and disenchanted. Therefore it needs to believe him, when it proudly proclaims: " until alive Emanuele Macrì, the Sicilian puppets can never die".
