Featured Sicilian Marionettes - anyone know the fine points?

I recently acquired 2 marionettes which I believe are Sicilian, used in the "Opera Dei Pupi". They are large - about 27" tall (not including the wire at the top) - and their legs are not articulated. Based on these specific features I think they may be from Catania (rather than Palermo), (based on my crash course on the internet).

Is anyone here familiar with these? I am particularly interested in some estimate of their age, as I have not been able to find information about design or structure that indicates particular time periods. I have not found any markings on them, don't know where to look, and don't know if it was common for their maker to mark them in any way.

I am including detailed photos of one. The second is basically the same except for the colors, and details in his shield and sword.

Wish I could help -- They appear to be in very good condition.

 

Just because ...

 

Wonderful - thank you!

 

I have usually seen the first one described as Orlando. My parents had an antique Orlando, which they bought in Sicily.

Orlando is the Frankish army commander Roland from the 11th century Song of Roland, which is described in this link:

This is the version that is popular in Sicily.

We were also taught the 'Saracen' version in school, but with Dutch names. For instance Roland became Roeland (pronunciation: Rooland).
The history and death of Orlando/Roland were important in the creation of the concepts of chivalry in Western Europe, which led to the Age of Chivalry.

 

The things that you know amaze me Any Jewelry!

 

These are magnificent!!
