The artwork in the Sicilian culture

By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation

Lemons, and citrus fruits in general, are one of the great symbols of Sicily. They were imported during the Arab domination (IX-XI century). With lemons Sicilians make, among  thousand other things, the famous granita and the equally famous limoncello.it is practically impossible to visit Sicily, even for a couple of hours, without seeing at least one lemon tree.

"Art has always represented the evolution of our civilization in all its forms. Each artist represents it’s time and espresses himself through a personal language that springs from feelings, emotions, desires, dream like visions"
