Why Choose Our Ceramics

A success story that began back in 2002, when two young artisans from Caltagirone, GIUSEPPE and NICOLA, made the decision of a lifetime: to leave the ceramic factory and the cigarette factory where they worked, to start their own business.

In the beginning they worked in a garage, then in a rented warehouse. It is southern SICILY that rolls up its sleeves, and the sacrifices bear excellent fruit. Boxes, tureens, baroque-style cherubs. All hand-decorated. Products of pure passion and genius, "made in SICILY". The company grows, and in the 2000s the "SOFIA" brand is renowned nationally. From the Milan trade fair, it launches to conquer markets across all of Europe.

Continuous research in the 2000s leads to a new, major turning point: ART AND DESIGN. The winning idea to embellish important homes in every corner of the globe: ITALY, USA, RUSSIA, Arab countries. A product that even today is among the strengths of the wide "SOFIA" catalog.

Alongside lamps, vases, lighting and columns enriched with traditional decoration, inspired by the manufactures of the ancient school of CALTAGIRONE and reinterpreted with a more current taste. Today, alongside the two founders, the activity of Sofia Ceramiche is carried forward by a new generation open to stimulating new challenges, yet not forgetting the values that allowed their masters to realize their dream: passion for Sicilian craftsmanship, attention to detail and dedication to the iconic Caltagirone tradition.

Each Sofia Ceramiche is made of exquisite Caltagirone ceramic, fully hand-modeled and hand-painted. Each piece is fire-signed and delivered with an authenticity certificate. When you choose Sofia, you choose Sicilian craftsmanship in its purest form.
