Carpet | Ortigia B 120x120

Crossing the bridge that connects the island of Ortigia to the city of Syracuse is like taking a journey through time, to the most ancient and glorious Sicily: 734 years before Christ - Here the first Corinthian settlers landed, who gave rise to the birth of Syracuse, the largest Greek colony in Sicily. Visiting these places you can retrace the eras of Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Swabian, Angevin, Aragonese, Spanish, Bourbon domination, and observe how all these cultures have left their indelible mark. Ortigia, where mythology and heroic deeds mix 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 crystalline blue of the sea that surrounds it.
