SYRACUSE, OUR STRENGTH

Here, the power of volcanoes merges with a rich and captivating history, inspiring culture, genuine traditions, and a vibrant present. This unique place sparks inspiration with its wild beauty, eruptions, and history that still echoes through its ancient ruins.
Thanks to its natural majesty and timeless cultural heritage, Sicily offers endless nourishment for creativity.

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 crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the brand’s identity, never to be betrayed. They prioritize constantly seeking new stimuli, original harmonies, broadening horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also distinguishes itself through 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, fulfilling 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 imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving it to dry for several days under special conditions, the object reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

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

The production process ends with a second firing at about 920°C, which enhances the colors’ shine and preserves the paints through the ages. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for glossiness.
