produttori — Caltagirone · Sicilia
In the heart of Caltagirone, a baroque town recognised as the capital of Sicilian ceramics, the workshop on Via Roma holds fast to an art measured by hand, one piece at a time. Irene Cabibbo and Ruggero carry forward a tradition this town has made its own for centuries, with artisan rigour and a family's care.
On the workbench, each piece of ceramic takes shape following the artisan techniques handed down through Caltagirone: hand-prepared clay bodies, decorations traced with typical Sicilian motifs — the geometries, the stylised flowers, the vivid colours that make this tradition recognisable the world over. No two pieces are identical; controlled variation is part of the method, not a flaw to correct.
The hand that shapes the clay is the same one that guides the client: Irene and Ruggero follow every commission with direct attention, from the first phone call to delivery. Wedding and ceremony favours — among the most requested pieces — take shape through a precise dialogue with whoever orders them: size, colours, packaging. Every detail is agreed before the workshop begins.
On the shelf stand the forms that have made Caltagirone famous: ceramic pine cones — the city's symbol, available as lamps and decorative objects in various sizes — and Moor's heads, pieces with an ancient story still sought after around the world. The workshop ships across Italy and abroad, with careful packaging that ensures every piece arrives intact.
From the shop window on Via Roma to the rest of the world: the page holds every piece of the collection, the materials used, and how to order your own custom ceramic.
