Cartapesta di Marco Epicochi

Lecce and papier-mâché, a combination whose origins date back to the distant 1700s, today is revived in the workshop of Marco Epicochi, multi-talented artist and teacher. Marco embraces and makes the Lecce tradition his own, creating splendid statues of various sizes, made with skill and care, and characterized by his unmistakable style and unique expressiveness. His works are found in various places throughout the world, for example, the majestic statue of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Bethlehem.
