Description by the artist

The earrings Talia cchi bedda fimmina! (Sicilian (Look what a beautiful woman!) are inspired by the baroque style, which here in Sicily, especially in the east, is certainly the most imaginative and intricate in the world. 925/000 silver polished burnished. Spheres: mediterranean red coral, first choice, not registered in the CITES lists. My jewels are handmade and speak of land and roots, of sky and sea. They narrate my Sicily, its colors, its history, its strong contradictions. I was inspired by the prickly pear and its plots that bind us, harness us and that, magically, make us freer to dream. Handmade with imperfections and irregularities, which is unique.
Size:
Width mm 32 max point, mm 12 at closure
Length mm 43, changeable on request.

The artwork in the Sicilian culture

By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation

The prickly pears (which inspired Roberto) are one of the great symbols of Sicily. They grow everywhere: on the sides of cliffs, in gardens, on the roofs of abandoned houses, on the sides of roads … Its fruit (ripe by the end of August) is delicious and much loved by Sicilians who also make rosoli and mostarda, a sweet typically prepared in jars, with the addition of carnations, cinnamon and almonds. Gelo is also very appreciated, a sort of gelatinous cream. Prickly pears were imported by Arabs during their domination (IX-XI century).

"I am searching for the Sicilian identity. I allow myself to be inspired by this land rich in knowledge, colors, contradictions, and traditions"

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.
