Fountain of Piazza Pretoria Palermo theatrical tradition Palermo has always enjoyed a very rich and diverse theatrical tradition with a mix of Arabic, Norman, French and Spanish cultures. Street theatre that is performed today, such as the typical vastasata, still reflects Sicilian cabaret and folklore, while the Teatro dei Pupi (puppet theatre) remains faithful to its ancient roots. The theatre scene is varied in summer and winter, with the Teatro Massimo and Teatro Politeama Garibaldi representing the two main theatres in Palermo.
