Caltagirone, October.
The early afternoon light glides across the ceramics like warm honey, igniting the blues and greens of the majolica tiles, touching the baroque stones and making them vibrate.
In Piazza Umberto, twenty-five supercars — Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, and Porsche — line up like jewels on display. Steel and sunlight strike a spark: a dialogue between power and beauty that tells of a contemporary Sicily, able to embrace the myth of the engine with the grace of a work of art.
Here, the historic center of Caltagirone becomes an ephemeral stage: the roar of engines turns into urban music, and the city, with its ornate facades and wrought-iron balconies, watches in silence.
The crews, part of a national touring event gathering collectors and entrepreneurs from the United States, move through the ancient streets like in a ritual of style — discreet, impeccable.
Then the scene changes pace.
From the square, the sound fades into an echo. Through the calm rhythm of the old town, the door of Palazzo Spadaro Libertini opens to another kind of light: inside, time slows down.
Within its baroque halls of rare elegance, a private lunch takes shape, curated by Ristorante DaSa of Caltagirone — a local symbol of culinary excellence. Tables dressed in linen and silver, white flowers, golden light filtering through the windows and caressing the baroque decorations.
Each course tells a story of the land: Sicilian ingredients reimagined with balance, flavors that weave together memory and contemporary refinement.
Inside those rooms — between a toast and a shimmer on the damask — baroque Sicily reveals its most refined face. It’s a way of hosting that cannot be improvised: born from centuries of culture, attention to detail, and an art of hospitality that lives on in these walls.
Caltagirone, with its ceramics, its events, and its architectural grace, reclaims its role as a protagonist — a city of stone and color that speaks the language of elegance without forgetting the hands that shaped it.
Supercar & Baroque becomes more than a stopover: a declaration of style, a bridge between speed and contemplation, between design and history.
