Did you know that...

For few other places, like Sicily, talking about "typical products" is like embarking on a journey within a journey, encountering artisanal craftsmanship that
opens up perspectives of time and evokes 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 known as the "town of ceramics." This is how this very active center, on the borders of the provinces of
Palermo and Messina, is best known throughout the world.

Having assimilated the techniques of colors and glazes from Neapolitan artisans, they created, throughout the 1800s, an countless series of majolica tiles
which, due to their originality, are an expression of a specific moment in the history of art in Sicily. The birth of true ceramic art
can be traced back to the early 1900s when production transitioned from exclusively economic objects made of
terracotta such as vases, jars, "quartare and bummuli" to artistic ceramics, which has become increasingly refined over the years and
now constitutes the mainstay of the Stefanesi economy.
A particular town, unique in its kind: wherever you turn, you see plates, tiles, mosaics, all made of very colorful
ceramics.

The production of ceramic objects in Santo Stefano di Camastra began about three hundred years ago, as aresult of a calamitous event that destroyed the original location of the town, forcing inhabitants to move to a new
location further down the valley. The need to build new homes led the people of Stefanesi to exploit a material very present in the territory: clay.

Alongside traditional production, a certain diversification has developed, primarily driven by young businesses, eager to integrate
into the system with a certain degree of product innovation.
