Descrizione
It flows under the fingers, soft to the touch. The limestone of Lecce, malleable and porous, manages to shape unique objects: centerpieces, vases, candle holders, lamps, favors, and artisanal jewelry. A UNESCO World Heritage Site of Salento, it is closely linked to the lands surrounding Melpignano, a village in Grecìa Salentina, where it has been extracted from historic quarries since time immemorial. An offspring of this tradition is the company "Le Meraviglie della Pietra" of the Solombrino family, led by Luana Solombrino, who places this raw material and its processing at the center stage of design, giving life to refined objects and pieces of the highest quality and certification. From ornaments to furnishing accessories to jewelry, each creation can be personalized by establishing a dialogue between the designer and the client, finding the right balance between ideas, trends, and solutions. Exquisitely refined are the decorations created by the artist, who works in the workshop and enhances the beauty of the stone through painting or engraving. "Le Meraviglie della Pietra" is an expression of the originality of local craftsmanship, which encompasses manual skill, culture, and identity. Those who choose Luana's artifacts are sure to bring home a piece of authentic Salento, such as lamps with luminaries or lighthouse-shaped ones, lucky charm pomegranates, or the characteristic prickly pears.
