The Legend of the "Testa di Moro"

This model is inspired by a famous Sicilian legend from the year 1100.

The story tells of a beautiful girl from Palermo who fell in love with a young Moorish man. Their love was very strong, but when she discovered he had to return to his home country, she felt heartbroken. To keep him with her forever, she decided to cut off his head and use it as a vase for her basil plant.

The basil grew so beautiful and lush that all the neighbors became jealous. They started making their own ceramic vases in the shape of a head, creating the famous tradition you see today!
