Historical Curiosities
The fascination that coral has always exercised on the human imagination essentially originates from its metamorphic nature.
This mysterious genesis was the source of a vast production of myths and beliefs all aimed at maintaining that coral could dispel evil and misfortune and acquire luck and well-being.
In the classical West, for example, the vision of coral was translated into the blood of Medusa who renews her perennial metamorphosis with Ovid: "tender and floating in the water, which hardens in the air and becomes stone".
The Sicilian court was the favorite hub of collections of extraordinary objects, Frederick II was the first to express interest: these collections represented the wealth and power of the prince himself.
The strategic location of the island made Sicily a territory dedicated to the mercantile practice of luxury products such as precious fabrics, wine, oil, gems and coral.
