The pine cones

It is a very ancient symbol and we find it in fact in ancient Egypt, Babylon and Greece as an image of the divine and immortality. Being a fruit generated from an evergreen, the pine cone symbolized life force and eternity.

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 hang over the front door as a wish for health and good luck to the family who live there. But the Pigna can also be found on balconies and entrance gates of ancient villas and noble gardens, monumental cemeteries, church and monastery facades, up to populating the thrones of kings and popes as a materialization of the soul, the bridge that joins the land to the divine.

These meanings materialize in the hands of skilled ceramic artisans who make large and small pine cones. Today the Artistic Pine Cones, used as favors, wedding gifts, furnishing accessories for interiors and exteriors or as a lamp base, remain an exclusive way of expressing a profound wish for well-being.
