I walked into Salvadore’s shop looking for a ceramic olive oil pourer, and walked out with Christmas presents for my whole family. He is the only one who makes the ceramic Christmas trees in Caltagirone. These ceramic Christmas trees are so beautifully detailed, you can really tell he put a good amount of time and effort into each piece. You must stop by this shop when visiting Caltagirone.

What a sight to behold! 142 beautiful ceramic encrusted steps, each a masterpiece of its own. Lovely motifs of knights, flowers, dancers, geometric patterns, etc. Turn left somewhere about 30 steps midway and you’ll find a beautiful ceramic wall tucked away from public view. Caltagirone is such a charming little town and I think it deserves at least half a day to explore the streets and galleries with artisans working on their craft. We were enroute to Piazza America and it was a pity that we could only make a brief stop.

First of all, while the stairs are beautiful and you can climb them if you’ll wish, you can also get a ride up there by three wheel cabs belonging to Luigi and Giacomo. The church is airy blue and white but the unique site is the small model village to the right of the altar. For 50 cent you can see the city at night, in the morning, in rain and shine. Roosters crow and children cry. The tiny dark room will hold about 4 people. So sweet in a town whose climate and geography can seem severe.
