Caltagirone: city of ceramics
The name Caltagirone derives from the Arabic term Qal0at al Ghiran, which means "Rocca dei Vases ".
Ceramic manufacturing in the Caltagirone area dates back to the Neolithic.
The imprint of the various peoples who have colonized Sicily over the centuries can also be perceived in the ceramic processing, despite this, ceramists have always brought out the Sicilian character in their art.
The art of Sicilian ceramic manufacturing has been handed down from generation to generation.
