The staircase was built in the early 1600s to connect the old part of the city of Caltagirone with the new part built in the highest part of the city, but was completed in the second half of the 1800s.
One hundred and forty-two steps forming a staircase about 130 meters long, each single step is decorated with ceramic tiles and a majolica covering is placed in each riser; the decorations take up typical Sicilian motifs ranging from the tenth to the twentieth century, creating a unique scenography. Every year, on 24 and 25 July, on the occasion of the feast of St. James, candles are lit on the steps that illuminate the city, each candle must be placed in the right place because all together they form a particular decoration. The city attends this moment in perfect silence, and it is still a tradition that is handed down from father to son.

La scalinata fu costruita nei primi anni del 1600 per collegare la parta antica della città di Caltagirone con la parte nuova costruita nella parte più alta della città, ma fu ultimata nella seconda metà del 1800.
Centoquarantadue scalini che formano una scala lunga circa 130 metri, ogni singolo gradino è decorato con piastrelle di ceramica ed in ogni alzata è posto un rivestimento di maiolica; le decorazioni riprendono motivi tipici siciliani che vanno dal X al XX secolo, creando una scenografia unica. Ogni anno, il 24 e 25 luglio, in occasione della festa di S. Giacomo sugli scalini vengono accesi dei lumini che illuminano la città, ogni lumino deve essere collocato al posto giusto perché tutti insieme formano una decorazione particolare. La città assiste a questo momento in perfetto silenzio, ed è tutt’oggi una tradizione che viene tramandata da padre in figlio.
This beautiful Music Stage, built in Moorish style, is located inside the Villa Vittorio Emanuele Public Garden in Caltagirone (CT).
This Public Garden, renowned for being one of the largest in Sicily, was built in 1846 by Giovan Battista Filippo Basile, taking the prestigious English Parks as a source of inspiration.
Beautiful paths surrounded by wonderful trees and exotic plants make up the rich vegetation, to which are added splendid ornamental installations, including terracotta vases, Sicilian majolica and the inevitable Caltagirone Ceramics, true excellence of local craftsmanship.

Questo Giardino Pubblico, rinomato per essere tra i piu’ grandi della Sicilia, venne realizzata nel 1846 ad opera di Giovan Battista Filippo Basile, prendendo come fonte di ispirazione i prestigiosi Parchi inglesi.
Splendidi sentieri contornati dai meravigliosi alberi e piante esotiche compongono la ricca vegetazione, a cui si aggiungono splendide installazioni ornamentali, tra vasi in terracotta, maioliche siciliane e le immancabili Ceramiche di Caltagirone, vere e proprie eccellenze dell’artigianato locale.

Palazzo Spadaro Libertini is one of the oldest buildings in Caltagirone, rebuilt on a pre-existing sixteenth-century structure.
The Palace is located in the historic center of Caltagirone (CT) recognized as a UNESCO heritage site in 2002, a few steps from the famous staircase of Santa Maria del Monte.
In 1871 Michelangelo Libertini dei Baroni di S. Marco bought most of the building which made it, on the noble floor, his own sumptuous residence which he furnished with white and gold lacquered fixtures and furniture produced in France like damask and Aubusson carpets.
The vaults of the halls were decorated by the best local artists and enriched with paintings by Francesco Vaccaro, belonging to the renowned family of Calatini artists, authors of works present in the churches and museums of Caltagirone up to the Ragusa area.
The doors of the reception rooms are made of glass embellished with splendid paintings depicting exotic animals and flowers that recall the decorations of the vaults in a single inseparable decorative motif that makes the decor of the spaces balanced.
-----------------------------------
Palazzo Spadaro Libertini è uno dei palazzi più antichi di Caltagirone, ricostruito su un impianto preesistente cinquecentesco.
Il Palazzo si trova nel centro storico di Caltagirone (CT) riconosciuto patrimonio dell’UNESCO nel 2002, a pochi passi dalla celebre scalinata di Santa Maria del Monte .
Nel 1871 Michelangelo Libertini dei Baroni di S. Marco, acquista la maggior parte del palazzo il quale ne fa, al piano nobile , la propria fastosa dimora che arreda con infissi laccati bianco e oro e mobili prodotti in Francia al pari di damaschi e tappeti Aubusson .
Le volte dei saloni sono state fatte decorare dai migliori artisti locali e arricchite da pitture di Francesco Vaccaro, appartenente alla rinomata famiglia di artisti calatini, autori di opere presenti nelle chiese e musei di Caltagirone sino al territorio del ragusano.
Le porte dei saloni di rappresentanza sono in vetro impreziosito da splendide pitture raffiguranti animali esotici e fiori che richiamano le decorazioni delle volte in un unico inscindibile motivo decorativo che rende equilibrato il decoro degli spazi.
A relatively new building in a style that I'd call Soviet-inspired prefab.
But I like the shapes and the way the light plays around with them.
Could the shapes be inspired by tyres?
Bicocca (the former Pirelli factory grounds), Milano, Italia.
I found very little info, not even the architect's name.
Building started in 2018, and it's owned by a company named società Caltagirone.

La Scala Infiorata
La peculiaridad de esta escalera es que cada uno de sus escalones está decorado con diferentes baldosas de cerámica pintada a mano, con estilos y figuras procedentes de la tradición milenaria de la alfarería siciliana.
Y es que Caltagirone es una localidad famosa en toda Italia por su producción artesanal de la cerámica, una labor que todavía da trabajo a muchos artesanos en la localidad.
Sus orígenes se remontan a la época de dominación árabe y, aunque ha sufrido muchas transformaciones a lo largo de la historia, sigue conservando los motivos y colores tradicionales. Elementos que no sólo vemos en la Scalinatta sino que también están presentes en prácticamente todos los edificios en el casco antiguo: palacios, iglesias, monumentos, jardines y plazas.
De abril a junio, la famosa escalera de Caltagirone se hace aún más hermosa.
Nacido como un homenaje a la Virgen de Conadomini, patrona de la ciudad, los 142 escalones de Santa María del Monte de la escala serán invadidos por miles de macetas con plantas y flores de diferentes colores y tonalidades
Un espectáculo lleno de encanto que dura más de un mes y permite a los turistas, visitantes y curiosos admirar la belleza de esta escala y la armonía de los dibujos hechos con flores.
Encontrarse en la presencia de una escala tan grande y poder contemplar un montón de flores y colores es un evento único, que no debe perderse.

_______________________________
El espacio urbano más famoso de la localidad de Caltagirone, en el sureste de Sicilia, no es una plaza ni una avenida principal, como sucede en el resto de pueblos del mundo, sino una larga escalera, la monumental Scalinatta di Santa Maria del Monte con sus 142 escalones que cada primavera se decoran con increíbles dibujos florales o compuestas de velas encendidas.
La peculiaridad de esta escalera es que cada uno de sus escalones está decorado con diferentes baldosas de cerámica pintada a mano, con estilos y figuras procedentes de la tradición milenaria de la alfarería siciliana.

Il Barocco Siciliano, presente soprattutto nella zona orientale dell’isola, è tra le forme d’arte più espressive e ricche della Nostra Storia, tanto da aver destato l’interesse dell’Unesco, che ha dichiarato patrimonio dell’umanità ben sette comuni, tra le province di Catania, Siracusa e Ragusa.
Modica, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa, Scicli, Caltagirone, Militello in Val di Catania e Catania.
Palazzolo è tra gli ultimi paesi della provincia di Siracusa, prima di entrare in quella Ragusana. Se venite in Sicilia, non perdete le sue bellezze (e quelle degli altri comuni), sia in termini d’arte che di gastronomia. La salsiccia palazzolese, le granite, il maiale al sugo sono solo una piccola dimostrazione della varietà di cose che questo pezzetto di Sicilia può offrire. L’unico inconveniente è che, tornando a casa, dovrete obbligatoriamente mettervi a dieta!
The Sicilian Baroque, present above all in the eastern area of the island, is among the most expressive and richest art forms in the history of our history, so much so that it has aroused the interest of Unesco, which has declared seven municipalities, between the provinces of Catania, Syracuse and Ragusa.
Modica, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa, Scicli, Caltagirone, Militello in Val di Catania and Catania.
Palazzolo is among the last towns in the province of Syracuse, before entering the Ragusa area. If you come to Sicily, do not miss its beauties (and those of the other municipalities), both in terms of art and gastronomy. The Palazzolese sausage, the granitas, the pork with sauce are just a small demonstration of the variety of things that this little piece of Sicily can offer. The only drawback is that, on returning home, you will have to go on a diet!

L'artisanat sicilien haut en couleurs: les célèbres têtes de Maure.
Colorful Sicilian crafts: the famous Moorish heads
La légende des têtes de Maure siciliennes.
La légende raconte que dans la ville de Palerme, notamment dans le quartier arabe al-Hâlisah (aujourd’hui connu sous le nom de “Kalsa”), vivait, vers l’an 1100, une jeune fille. La jeune fille passait ses journées à l’intérieur de son somptueux palais, prenant soin de ses plantes et de ses fleurs. Un jour, un jeune et charmant Maure passait sous le balcon de la jeune fille. Un échange de regards suffit à déclencher le coup de foudre. Hélas, la jeune fille ignorait que le Maure dont elle était tombée amoureuse était marié et avait des enfants dans les lointaines terres d’Orient, où il serait rentré aussitôt.
La jeune fille, aveuglée par l’amour et par la jalousie attendit l’arrivée de la nuit, et, pendant que le jeune homme dormait, elle lui coupa la tête de façon à la garder toujours avec elle. Elle en fit un vase où elle semait et arrosait avec ses larmes ses plantes et ses fleurs. Les passants, en voyant comment de luxuriantes plantes poussaient dans ces vases particuliers en forme de tête de Maure, demandèrent à se faire réaliser à la main des vases en argile avec les mêmes traits.
C’est là que naît la tradition artisanale des têtes de Maure siciliennes, tradition qui a su nourrir les esprits créatifs de beaucoup d’artisans siciliens, notamment les artisans de la ville de Caltagirone.
The legend of the Sicilian Moorish heads.
Legend has it that in the city of Palermo, particularly in the Arab neighborhood al-Hâlisah (today known as “Kalsa”), there lived, around the year 1100, a young girl. The girl spent her days inside her sumptuous palace, taking care of its plants and flowers. One day, a young and charming Moor passed under the girl's balcony. An exchange of glances is enough to trigger love at first sight. Alas, the young girl did not know that the Moor with whom she had fallen in love was married and had children in the distant lands of the Orient, where he would have returned immediately.
The young girl, blinded by love and jealousy, waited for night to arrive, and while the young man slept, she cut off his head so as to keep it always with her. She made it into a vase where she sowed and watered her plants and flowers with her tears. Passers-by, seeing how luxuriant plants grew in these particular vases in the shape of a Moor's head, asked to have clay vases made by hand with the same features.
This is where the artisanal tradition of Sicilian Moor's heads was born, a tradition which has nourished the creative minds of many Sicilian artisans, notably the artisans of the town of Caltagirone.

We were travelling in the "baroque triangle" of south east Sicily. The towns below Catania was utterly destroyed (with great loss of life) in the earthquake of 1693 and was redeveloped in the baroque style in the early eighteenth century.
Its a UNESCO listed area on account of its exceptional baroque town planninig and architecture. We visited Catania, Modica, Noto and Ragua
"The eight towns in south-eastern Sicily: Caltagirone, Militello Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo, Ragusa and Scicli, were all rebuilt after 1693 on or beside towns existing at the time of the earthquake which took place in that year. They represent a considerable collective undertaking, successfully carried out at a high level of architectural and artistic achievement. Keeping within the late Baroque style of the day, they also depict distinctive innovations in town planning and urban building."
The famous 142-step ceramic-tiled staircase Via Santa Maria del Montea connects Piazza Municipio with the Chiesa Santa Maria del Monte. Numerous small exciting ceramic shops line the staircase.
