Testa di Moro – Terra di Colori – 30 cm – Black Man / Green Turban

It is told that around 1100, in Palermo, lived an extraordinary beautiful woman who was used to spend her days dedicating herself to the care of her wonderful garden.
One day, the beauty of the girl conquered a young moro, who driven by passion declared himself and conquered the heart of the beauty between those flowers and leaves so much important for her.
The beloved man however soon should have left for his native land, where he already had a wife and sons.

Too much anger and delusion for the young, who, in the darkness of the night, made her bed the teather of the decapitation of the sleepy traitor.
Of the poor cut head, the beauty made a vase to expose on her balcony in which, with the daily drop tears, she saw sprout a lush basil plant.

The envy of the neibouroughs and of the passings was at a point that many asked the local artisans vases modeled with heads, “Teste di Moro”.
