Up Sicily, May 2013 » Caltagirone Slideshow

Caltagirone is notable mainly as a center for ceramics. Its museum is remarkable for the number of really ancient ceramics there, from back to maybe 2000 BCE. The town is pretty too, with a somewhat overhyped tiled staircase which the chamber of commerce has successfully marketed as a tourist target.
