Scirocco

Handcrafted Scirocco Ceramics from the Mangiallegro Line

Scirocco is the warm south-easterly wind that reaches the Mediterranean, a name deeply connected with life on the Sicilian coast. In the Mangiallegro line, it becomes the name of a Ceramiche De Simone decorative pattern.

The reference suggests atmosphere and movement; it does not necessarily mean that the wind itself is depicted. Instead, the pattern has its own artistic identity, with spontaneous brushwork carrying across the different handcrafted forms.

In Scirocco, the creative legacy of Giovanni De Simone is expressed through free brushwork, colour and the pleasure of bringing art into everyday life. Each ceramic piece is handcrafted and hand-painted.

Scirocco Dinnerware Sets and Hand-Painted Ceramics for Everyday Life

Build a dinnerware set to suit your table: round plates in the Scirocco pattern offer choices for dinner, soup, fruit and pizza plates, with sizes and quantities selected individually. For at a family lunch, appetizer dishes and serving platters provide more ways to share food. Coordinating table accessories bring the setting together, while other Mangiallegro patterns can be mixed in for a more personal combination.

The Scirocco pattern also belongs to the quieter moments between meals. Ceramic mugs fit naturally into breakfast or an afternoon break, while espresso cups carry the same design into an after-lunch coffee. In the kitchen, you can also discover kitchen accessories, including cutlery holders, oil and vinegar sets, bringing the artwork into practical daily routines.

The design also appears in the bathroom, with soap dispensers and toothbrush holders. These are handcrafted, hand-painted ceramics, chosen for both their practical purpose and Ceramiche De Simone's distinctive artistic decoration.
