Placemat | Ortigia A – 33x44cm

Product details

Crossing the bridge that connects the island of Ortigia to the city of Syracuse is like embarking on a journey through time, to the oldest Sicily with a glorious past: 734 years before Christ-Here landed the first Corinthian settlers, who initiated the birth of Syracuse, Sicily’s largest Greek colony. By visiting these places one can retrace the eras of Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Swabian, Angevin, Aragonese, Spanish, and Bourbon dominations, and observe how all these cultures left their indelible imprint. Ortigia, where mythology and heroic deeds mingle in different styles and cultures, is the inspiration for the arabesque of the collection of the same name, with colors that recall the silvery-white buildings and the crystal blue sea that surrounds it..
