I think that speaking with an artist is always, always an honor. And for this reason, I was truly delighted and — I must admit — quite excited, by the idea of interviewing Flavia Pittalà, one third of DADAme Artisti Decoratori di Carretti Siciliani, a trio of young Sicilian, classically trained artists who decided to make of carretti decoration their life.
Carretti Siciliani have the sun and life of Sicily within. Their colors are those of the island’s landscapes, waters, sky and mountains. There is the fire of Etna’s lava and the gold of wheat fields. Their images tell stories of Faith and miracles, of ancient heroes and their courageous deeds, of the real essence of Sicily’s heritage and culture.
