Ceramic Art As old as time itself, terra cotta is foremost among Sicily's artistic traditions. This art was popular with the Sicanians, Phoenicians, Greeks and other ancient peoples of Sicily, and is continued today by their heirs. The most traditional ceramic art features the intricate motifs brought by the Moors, embellished by the Renaissance spirit of the Baroque. That's the ceramic art for which Sicily is famous. If you want to find out more about the history of Sicilian ceramic sculpture and how to select it, our Ceramic Page is a good place to begin. |
Culinary Arts Food and wine seem to be a true expression of a people's personality. Sicilian cuisine is such a vast --and delicious-- topic that we've dedicated several pages to it. Food and Wine describes various Sicilian specialties, and translates the names of the most popular Sicilian dishes, with information on wines and olive oils. Recipes and the Mediterranean Diet have their own pages, and so do Restaurants. Buon appetito! |
