The artwork in the Sicilian culture

By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation

Here is the beautiful description of the same artist: there are many legends that revolve around the birth of Sicily. One of these legends tells that it was born from the inspiration of three nymphs, who wandered the sea taking from the most fertile parts of the land a fistful of sand mixed with pebbles. The three nymphs stopped under the clearest and bluest sky in the world and, from the three points where they had stopped, they threw their fistful of sand into the sea and dropped the flowers and fruit that they carried in the veils that covered them. The sea, at their appearance,dressed with all the lights of the rainbow and, little by little, from the waves emerged a colorful and fragrant land, rich in all the seductions that nature could offer.

The Governance also suggests

The objective of the Governance is both to safeguard the traditions and ancient crafts of the people of Sicily, and to sustain economically the Artisans and the Artists, both the real ethno-anthropologists of the country.
