Donna Sara, la castellana di Vicari

Sicilian majolicas have always been among the most beautiful in the world. The production of master ceramist has evidence since the Neolithic period, about 10,000 years ago, as indeed happened in different parts of the world. But Sicily, as usual, has that extra touch, that extra magic that is given by the fact of having had different dominations and therefore an extraordinary contamination of styles and techniques that make it unique even in this field of art. Beautiful, since the 1500, the majolica floors of ancient Sicilian houses.
Vicari is a small village of about 2000 inhabitants in the province of Palermo, founded around the 800. There is a Cuba (probable cistern for the collection of water) of Arabic origin (XI century) and ruins of a castle whose origins are lost to about 2000 years ago.
