MILK OF SICILY – LIMITED EDITION
There is Sicily, the authentic and true one made by its most expressive elements
and the particular one of the microcosm of Castelbuono,
where our biscuits have been born for over forty years.
But there is also Sicily
who knows how to innovate to meet new challenges
while not forgetting his bond
with tradition.
They are objects to be collected, to show off for their uniqueness.
They are called Efesto and Anna and are part of the Arcà line,
the new limited edition collection of author's milk,
born from the inspiration and creativity of Angela Sottile,
artist, ceramist, restorer of Castelbuono.
We asked her to make collector boxes
able to render in images and shapes
the cornerstones of our production philosophy:
Research, tradition and creativity.
The technique used for this first edition of the Arcà line
is that of the digital collage made by mixing
parts hand painted by Angela with graphic and photographic elements.
In this combination, each of the elements loses its identity
becoming something else thanks to the instinctive search for meaning it brings
at the birth of a new one, and entirely credible, reality.
Inside Arcà, the author's milk,
which will be available in a very limited number,
there will be Ricci with almonds and Pistachio,
i Cosi bowed, i Zuccotti, the coconut pralines
and the latest additions to our production range,
Cantucci with toasted almonds
and those with Modica PGI chocolate.
Efesto it is the soul of Sicily in its thousand contaminations and shades.
A journey to the island through colors, smells and sounds.
On the lid the dark brown, symbolic and identity element of our island,
she is portrayed using a classic face.
The story that instead develops along the sides,
takes its cue from those of the storytelling panels present in the Sicilian cart,
starting from the colors, the celestial, red and yellow,
and it is a journey that crosses the highlights of Sicily,
in a dream dimension: there are the puppets whose shield becomes a rain cloud,
fish swimming in a space that is water at the same time
and sky behind an almond tree in bloom, the sailing boat,
the volcano that erupts roses that reveals the creative and dynamic soul of Sicily.
And then again the embroideries of the majolica, the ceramic pine cone that becomes a tree,
the sun which is the money of the Sicilian cards.
Anna instead he wants to celebrate Sant’Anna,
the patroness of Castelbuono and to discover the universal language
of patronal feasts in Sicily f
act of joy, devotion, colors and rituals.
In this case the reference is the popular art of Pincisanti glass painting,
made by simplicity and a few brushstrokes characterized
from an expressive immediacy.
On the lid is represented the reliquary that becomes in the eyes of the faithful
a starry sky where you can get lost under a silver mantle that embraces and protects.
On the sides, on the other hand, the party is told: the illuminations, the embroidery of the blankets hanging from the balconies,
the parade of candles of the procession, the ex voto
and one of the putti of the Palatine Chapel of the Ventimiglia Castle dedicated to Saint Anna.
