Caltagirone


When it comes to the town of ceramics, Caltagirone has a ton of choices. We've mentioned a few of our favorite spots in the book but there are many more to explore. One of our favs, "Bruselles Maioliche d'arte" is a great spot for getting a more custom piece of ceramics. If your time permits, you can stop by this little shop towards the top of 'La Scala' (the steps) and custom order your ceramics to include names, dates, etc. There is usually a two week turn around time to pick up finished products. These make great gifts with an added personal touch. You can get creative and have personal Christmas ornaments made, welcome signs, etc. Don't forget that July 21 will be the annual lighting of 'La Scala,' a must see while in Sicily.
