SYRACUSE, OUR STRENGTH

Here, the power of volcanoes merges with a rich and captivating history, inspiring culture, deep-rooted traditions, and a vibrant present. This unique place sparks inspiration with its wild beauty, eruptions, and history that still echoes through ancient ruins.

Artistic artifacts, shaped by master craftsmen, contain the fiery energy of volcanoes and the depth of ancient Sicilian legends, giving each piece a unique soul.
TO CREATE

One of our strengths is continuous idea exchange with clients. Comparing their thoughts and needs is an essential and irreplaceable source of inspiration for creating new items.

Every piece is made with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the brand’s identity, never to be betrayed. They are fundamentally driven by the constant search for new stimuli, original harmonies, and expanding horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also distinguishes itself by the quality of raw materials it works with, such as stoneware suitable for tableware. Every day, they work to achieve their main goal: to channel all creativity into serving others, realizing their desires through their artistic sensibility.

FROM THE EARTH TO MAJOLICA

Every work begins with a pencil sketch, translating the artist’s thoughts. This shapes the object, transforming the image of imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving the piece to dry for several days under special conditions, it reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is then ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terra cotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase of the production process during which the artist gives their all. Often, it’s about giving space for imagination and color.

The production process concludes with a second firing at about 920°C, which enhances the colors’ luster and preserves the paints over centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for glossiness.
