lava table


So a lot of Sicilians have tables and things made out of lava from Mt. Etna. We decided to get a lava table before we leave. Since we live in Aci Trezza and absolutely love it, we decided to get an Aci Trezza themed table. I am no artist but I wanted our table to be custom and what we like about Sicily. I drew a sketch and took it to Mario's Iron Works where he makes wrought iron stands. He then took my sketch to an artist in the famous town of Caltigirone to paint the lava stone. We got the table delivered tonight and are so excited with the results!

Our inspiration - Aci Trezza
