The Future is Ancestral

Artistry Rooted in Sicily

Where Every Story Begins

Place

In Sicily, luxury is made by hand. It is rooted in an island of extraordinary richness, where Greek temples, Arab domes, and Baroque facades tell of civilizations layered across centuries, surrounded by a sea that stays with you long after you leave.

Artisan

The artisan is a storyteller. We meet them in their workshops, listen to their stories, and discover the island through their eyes. Every piece carries their authorship, weaving personal memories and ancestral traditions into an expression all their own.

Object

Each handmade object carries quiet traces of millennia shaped by Romans, Greeks, Arabs, French, and Spanish. To hold one is to feel that past, and the touch of the artisan who shaped it.

Palermo, Made by Hand

From Patrizia Italiano's expressive ceramics to Roberto Intorre's sculptural jewelry, two distinct visions celebrate the spirit of Palermo. 

Rooted in its people, traditions, and landscape, their work comes together in a curation rich with character.

Ceramist, Palermo

Patrizia Italiano

Working entirely by hand since 1977, Patrizia Italiano creates ceramics without molds, giving each piece its own expressive character. Her playful reinventions of Sicily's traditional Teste di Moro draw inspiration from Palermo's lively markets, botanical gardens, and everyday characters. With humor, imagination, and a deep affection for her island, Patrizia transforms familiar Sicilian traditions into objects full of personality.

Goldsmith, Palermo

Roberto Intorre

Trained as an architect, Roberto Intorre brings a sculptural sensibility to jewelry, finding  inspiration in the natural forms and cultural traditions of Sicily. The intricate structure of the  prickly pear, the interwoven lines of fishermen's nets, and the characters of Sicily's puppet  theater become distinctive expressions in his hands. Working from his Palermo atelier,  Roberto creates jewelry that carries the island's stories in every detail.

Needlework Artist, Ragusa Ibla

Maria Guastella

In her workshop in Ragusa Ibla, Maria Guastella preserves the delicate art of Sfilato Siciliano, a drawn-thread embroidery tradition dating back to the court of Frederick II. Working entirely by hand, she carefully draws threads from pure linen to create intricate geometric patterns of remarkable beauty. For Maria, every piece carries centuries of knowledge, and her dream is to pass this treasured Sicilian craft to a new generation.

Marinella Stornello

In Ragusa Ibla, Marinella Stornello brings her painter's eye to BaroccOro Jewels, combining hand-painted ceramics, Etna lava, and richly colored stones in jewelry inspired by Sicily. Her designs celebrate the island's distinctive colors, textures, and decorative traditions. Each ceramic element undergoes three firings, the final one setting its luminous gold finish. The result is jewelry that feels both artistic and deeply connected to place.

Scenapparente

Scenapparente has spent twenty-five years turning scenography into a way of life — costumes, props, restyled interiors, all built on instinct. Raffaella Piccione and Mela Salemi run it today alongside her brother Andrea Piccione, a fashion designer, guided by the same instinct that started it all: creativity, feeling, and the pride of being un'artigiana.

Ceramists, Caltagirone

Sofia Ceramiche

Giuseppe and Nicola Intonato founded Sofia Ceramiche in Caltagirone, the Sicilian town where majolica has been fired for a thousand years, and they carry that tradition forward with rare authority. Their hand-modeled, hand-painted Teste di Moro, now an emblem of Sicilian homes, have reached Dolce & Gabbana's New York store. Twenty artisans, family at the heart, and every piece shaped, painted, and fired in Caltagirone.

DANIÉ Made in Sicily

Daniela Napolitano trained as a goldsmith in Florence before turning to the coffa, the woven palm-leaf basket Sicilian farmers carried for centuries. Through Danié Made in Sicily, founded in 2018, she reimagines it with lace, trimmings, and hand-painted Caltagirone ceramics inspired by Sicilian legends like the Teste di Moro and Arethusa. Every bag arrives with a certificate telling its story.

Hand-Weaving Atelier, Perugia

Giuditta Brozzetti

Marta Cucchia is the fourth generation to carry on Giuditta Brozzetti's atelier, founded in 1921 and now housed in Perugia's oldest Franciscan church. Trained in architecture, she learned the historic looms herself and relaunched the workshop in 1995. Today she leads a team of weavers recreating Umbria's medieval and Renaissance textiles on looms more than two centuries old.

Coming soon

About Siculi

SICULI is a world of discovery rooted in Sicily, shaped by the artisans we meet, the objects they create, and the place that influences each piece.

We enter their workshops, watch craft take shape, and credit each artisan by name. Alongside what we discover, we create ornamental collections with the same respect for skill, material, and process.

Before the six civilizations that shaped Sicily were the Siculi, the people this brand is named for. Then came Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, and Spanish influence, still visible in mosaics, architecture, ornament, metalwork, and ceramics. That layered history and beauty continue to guide SICULI’s design today.

SICULI keeps each artisan’s authorship visible, sharing their story alongside the work.
