It is the tremendous variety of styles that make the mosaics so intriguing. Mythological scenes, animals and birds, hunting and music. The owners lived in luxury. The villa had its own private thermae, a reception hall, large restrooms and living rooms.

The baroque town Caltagirone is situated on three hills with tortuous streets and dramatic vistas
It is a lively city, above all known for its production of ceramics. They have been used for centuries to decorate the most unexpected places, houses, balconies, public and private parks, churches, streets and squares. The typical colors of local pottery reflect the colors of Sicily: blue, sage green and yellow.
