Having visited the shops myself, I can say you are on the money, This is a most colorful part of Sicily. The steps in Caltagirone Eszter mentions came up in Joe Pistone’s shop. I asked how you protect your designs from being used by others, are they patented ? He said, go visit the steps, our family’s design was on step # 94 and placed there in 17th century 🙂 All stunning and all gorgeous.. You won’t find made in….China on the bottom 🙂
