The Filistrucchi workshop, founded by Angelo Filistrucchi in 1720, is the oldest business in the city, handed down through generations from father to son.
It started out as a hair and make-up shop and over time specialised in making wigs and masks for the theatre, achieving international fame and leading the business to collaborate with major film productions and prominent personalities on the artistic scene.
The building is grafted into the layout of the old walls; the shop window characterises the street by displaying the wigs and handmade masks produced.
The interior is characterised by the presence of the historical wooden mannequins, custom-made during the various commissions
