La storia delle “pupe con i baffi” risale al periodo feudale allorquando lo “jus primæ noctis” (legge iniqua) scatenò la gelosia di un tale futuro marito che per sottrarsi all’onta impositiva ed inaccettabile di far possedere la propria consorte al principe di turno, si travestì lui da sposa, presentandosi al cospetto del nobile. Purtroppo, aveva dimenticato di tagliare i baffi e fu subito scoperto ed arrestato. Subì un processo e per scontare la pena (era prevista la decapitazione) gli fu imposto di procurare per il principe il suo vino migliore, in quanto vignaiolo, contenuto e presentato in queste fiasche antropomorfe che furono denominate pupe, a perenne ricordo dell’accaduto. Nelle cantine del palazzo del principe sono state trovate tantissime fiasche che oggi fanno parte di collezioni private di tutto il mondo. Oggi, si riproducono le pupe con e senza i baffi anche come basi lampada e come sculture plastiche di varie dimensioni monocromatiche o decorate.
