Caltagirone - Sicilian Unesco World Heritage — Presentation Transcript

Caltagirone Caltagirone is a town in the province of Catania, on the island (and region) of Sicily, about 70 km SW of Catania. The city has been long famous for the production of pottery and terra-cotta wares. Nowadays the production is more and more oriented to artistic production of ceramics and terra-cotta sculptures. Caltagirone este un ora ş situat în provincia Catania, în insula (şi regiunea) Sicilia, la cca 70 km sud-vest de Catania. Oraşul este faimos datoritã producţiei de ceramicã şi faianţã, o tradiţie milenarã. În zilele noastre producţia este orientatã tot mai mult spre creaţia artisticã de ceramicã şi sculptura de teracotta

Caltagirone The city was almost completely destroyed by the severe earthquake of 1693. Many public and private buildings have then been reconstructed in earthquake Baroque style. Primarily for this reason, the city has been inserted, together with the surrounding territory in an area protected by the UNESCO World Heritage program. Oraşul a fost distrus aproape total de cutremurul catastrofal din 1693. Multe clãdiri publice sau private au fost apoi re construite în stil baroc sicilian , motiv pentru care oraşul a fost inclus în patrimoniul mondial UNESCO.

C E R A M I C A Tradizione milenaria

Caltagirone But the ceramics aren't limited to the shops, there are splashes of hand painted color on markers and benches throughout the town and even a beautifully decorated bridge on the walk to the ceramics museum. Elsewhere in the town are many examples of local ceramic work, perhaps most notably the relief tiles on the San Fransesco bridge. Dar ceramica nu este expus ã doar î n maga zine sau muzee ci este utilizatã în decorarea întregului oraş unde poţi vedea peste tot minunate exemplare de ceramicã tradiţionalã. Exemple spectaculoase sunt podul San Francesco, scara monumentalã sau zidul de protecţie de pe Via Roma.

Housed within the Teatrino, a 1700’s building decorated with majolica, the Ceramics Museum ( created in 1965 ) traces the history of the local ceramic industry from the Prehistory to the early 1900 O superb ă colecţie de ceramică şi teracotă datând din preistorie până în zilele noastre se află la Muzeul de Ceramică deschis în 1965 în clădirea Teatrino (1700)
