From ancient times, LA PIGNA can be found in the entrance gates of ancient villas and noble gardens, monumental cemeteries, facades of churches and convents, up to populating the thrones of kings and popes as a materialization of the soul, the bridge that joins the land to the divine.

The pine cone is the fruit of the pine, and in various civilizations it has always contained the symbolic meanings of life force, immortality, divinity, linked to the tree that generates it together with those of fecundity and regenerative force for the seeds it contains.

Popular Sicilian tradition believes that it is useful to give pine cones to keep at home as a wish for health and good luck to the family who live there. 

These meanings materialize in the hands of skilled ceramic artisans who make large and small pine cones.
