La Cartapesta is a small workshop/shop in Lecce's baroque center showcasing traditional papier-mâché sculptures and decorative objects. Photograph close-up textures, intricate painted faces and the shop's cluttered, craft-filled interiors; the warm stone streets nearby provide atmospheric context. Best visited weekday mornings for soft light and fewer tourists, or late afternoon golden hour for warm façades. Space is tight—ask permission before photographing artisans. Limited street parking; use
