Carta e colla e il capolavoro è fatto. La cartapesta è la regina dell’artigianato leccese, un’arte povera e di antichissime origini che ha dato vita a vere e proprie opere d’arte e ancora oggi vive nel cuore delle botteghe artigiane del centro storico di Lecce.
Le sue origini sono avvolte dal mistero e si racconta che a Lecce l’arte di modellare la carta sia nata nelle botteghe dei barbieri. Statue e bassorilievi di tutte le dimensioni popolano la città e i paesi vicini: raffigurano i santi, i cui simulacri vengono portati in processione durante le feste religiose, ma anche personaggi del presepe da ammirare in occasione della fiera di Santa Lucia.
Leggerezza e costi contenuti hanno determinato il successo della cartapesta nei secoli. Modellarla richiede tuttavia una grande abilità, sia nella preparazione della colla che nella realizzazione del manufatto adagiando i pezzi di carta su una struttura di paglia e stoppa con sostegni di fil di ferro.
