Photos from Italy

This are the works that our Italian pupils have made using papier-maché.
They have been inspired by a classic Italian tale "Pinocchio" and they made the masks for the fox, the cat and Pinocchio itself.
They have decided to make one of the most impressive scenes in the tale, that's to say the scene of  "The Money Tree in the Field of Miracles".



Here you can see some photos of the masks. Enjoy them!!!
In Italy - particularly in Tuscany- there is a tradition of craftsmen of papier mache; they prepare allegoric floats for the Carnival Parade.
Here the link to know more about it:
