A path between coral masters and goldsmiths of Sciacca, real experts of the artisanalmanufacturing of Sciacca’s coral, of which the first finding dates back to 1875. Vastextensions of this coral were born due to the volcanic phenomenon of the IsolaFerdinandea, which emerged in 1831.The extraordinary and unique Coral of Sciacca differs from the others for theuniqueness of its shade of colour, which goes from intense orange to pale salmon-pinkcharacterised by brown and sometimes black spots, which evidence its volcanic origin. It isalso eco-friendly because it is a sub-fossil, already dead in a natural process.In Sciacca’s artisan workshops, through a guided process, visitors can delve into thoseancient techniques of manufacturing that take place thanks to the skilled hands of the coralmasters, who cut, smooth, and work with scrupulous attention one by one the tiny coralbranches leading you in an experiential tour during which the precious “sunken treasure”comes to life, following the natural shapes of the material forged in the Mediterranean Sea. Translated by Francesco Ferrara
