The artwork in the Sicilian culture

By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation
Grotta Bombarda (located in Marettimo) is located in the Egadi Islands, an archipelago about 7 km from Trapani, on the west coast of Sicily. They are a repository of beautiful landscapes (Favignana, Levanzo and Marettimo) and history. Among the latter we remember Mozia (VIII B.C.), one of the three Phoenician strongholds together with Solunto and Palermo and today an entire archaeological site. The Egadi were the seats of many tuna fisheries and salt pans. We are in a Sicily with strong Arab-African contaminations. The houses are white, the cous-cous a typical dish.

"Art regards the soul of the artist, espressed through the creation of an elaborate graphic, painting or sculpture. It is something indescribable, indefinable and it is the artist himself who solidifies it"
