The Fratantoni artisan workshop is a historic Sicilian company that has been dedicated to the manual production of terracotta objects since 1935. In the 70s he successfully experimented and patented, first, in Italy, the application of enamel and decoration to the lava basalt slabs of Etna, resuming the production of the typical majolica tiles, once the pride and joy of the ancient Stefanese tradition.

Here you can breathe the atmosphere of the authentic village that still preserves the artisan traditions of the past, such as that of weaving or engraving in stone.

The Provole, exported to all the Bel Paese, are absolutely to be enjoyed. Lunch included during the excursion. We proceed towards Mediterranean energy, a huge blue concrete wave swollen by the wind; a solid water sign on the mountain, like the sea we perceive on the horizon and Pyramid 38° parallel, an evocative place that represents at the same time a mathematical symbol and the reality of nature.
At sunset, we will reach the Monument to a Dead Poet, better known as Window on the Sea, another magical place where we will witness an unforgettable sunset.
