The artwork in the Sicilian culture
By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation
The Mattunazza (Sicilian for street brick ) are devotional bricks that we often find in the alleys and behind the doors that close the Sicilian houses, especially in the countryside, as a blessing. It was customary when building a house to put one of these mattunazza outside, before living in it.
