Did you know that...
For few other places like Sicily, talking about "typical products" means embarking on a journey within a journey, encountering artisanal craftsmanship that reveals perspectives of time and suggests images of places. Important in the field of craftsmanship is S. Stefano di Camastra, the largest ceramic production center in Sicily, which also represents one of the most interesting tourist-traditional itineraries and is also called the "town of ceramics." This is how this very active center on the borders of the provinces of Palermo and Messina is best known worldwide.
Having assimilated the techniques of colors and glazes from Neapolitan artisans, they will create, throughout the 1800s, an innumerable series of majolica tiles that, due to their originality, are an expression of a precise moment in the history of Sicilian art. The birth of true ceramic art can be traced back to the early 1900s when production shifted from an exclusively economic one, consisting of terracotta objects such as vases, jars, "quartare and bummuli," to artistic ceramics, which have refined more and more over the years and now constitute the main pillar of the Stefanesi economy. A peculiar town, unique in its kind: wherever you turn, you see plates, tiles, mosaics, all made of very colorful ceramic.
The production of ceramic objects in Santo Stefano di Camastra began approximately three hundred years ago, as a result of a calamitous event that destroyed the original location of the town, forcing the inhabitants to move to a new location further downstream. The need to build new homes led the Stefanesi to exploit a material abundant in the territory, clay.
Alongside traditional production, a certain diversification has developed, mainly by young businesses, driven to enter the system with a certain degree of product innovation.
