Caltagirone Ceramics
The beauty and the EVOO
“The project was born from the infinite passion for ceramics and antique objects of daily use that was handed down to me by my beloved grandmother Ada with whom, as a child, I used to go to Palermo by train to look for used objects of all kinds in Piazza Marina on sundays. Without realizing it, over the decades I have collected, among other things, a copious number of majolica bricks and Fangotti dishes. This collection inspired me and made me think about the development of the project, which I was able to realize thanks to the experience of Rosario Parrinello, CEO and Art Director of the ”Made a Mano” brand, a leading company in the world of Luxury Design.
ROSARIO PARRINELLO
ART DIRECTOR
Expert entrepreneur of the ceramic arts of Caltagirone, after 50 years of study and research, in 2001 he founded the Made a Mano brand, a company specialized in clay and lava stone manufacts from Etna. His collections are born from ancient ceramic techniques, updated in a contemporary style. Each product is a pure concentrate of essentiality.

A profound connoisseur of all clays, he is the son of an artist. His father was an example and teacher in passing on the ancient art and wisdom necessary to the potter. There are no shapes or dimensions that are impossible for him; in his hands the clay is transformed into what his mind wants to do and sees.

Graduated from the State Institute of Ceramic Art of Caltagirone, he has always been a point of reference for the study and revisitation of the ancient decorations.
