The creative people of Trinacria
Sicilian Artisan Foundation (S.A.F.) is a project to sustain the Sicilian creativity, over all to support the artisans and artists.
The objective of S.A.F is both to safeguard the traditions and ancient crafts of the people of Sicily, and to sustain economically the Artisans and the Artists, both the real ethno-anthropologists of the country.
The writers transcribing down through memory to the pen; artisans use their hands and flair.
Both use their hearts.
