The Sci\u00f2 Sci\u00f2: the light spirits of Neapolitan tradition<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

More than just a spirit, it is an ancient whisper that hovers in homes, alleys, and memories handed down through generations. Sci\u00f2 sci\u00f2 are intangible creatures, symbols of a magical Naples, suspended between dream and reality, which guards and protects, but also knows how to mock humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


They never show themselves openly, but they make themselves felt. Sometimes with a sudden gust of wind, with an object falling for no reason, with a door slamming while the house sleeps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are not malicious, but capricious. They demand respect, attention, and a little healthy superstition. Grandmothers know them well: all you had to do was leave a glass of water on the bedside table, a broom leaning against the door, or a grain of salt under the bed to keep them happy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nel presepe napoletano, che \u00e8 teatro della vita e specchio dell\u2019anima partenopea, anche gli sci\u00f2 sci\u00f2 trovano spazio. Non in forma diretta, ma nel gesto curioso del pastore, nello sguardo stupito della lavandaia, nell\u2019inspiegabile atmosfera che avvolge certe scene. \u00c8 quella sensazione che qualcosa, o qualcuno, sia l\u00ec accanto a te, a osservarti, a sorridere, forse a proteggerti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Bottega Ferrigno, this ancient lightness inspires us. Some of our figurines seem to be animated by that very spirit: small characters that appear to be about to move, to speak, to tell a story. Perhaps it is thanks to the craftsman's hand, or perhaps to the sci\u00f2 sci\u00f2 that silently watches over our work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\"scio\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Gli Sci\u00f2 Sci\u00f2: gli spiriti leggeri della tradizione napoletana Pi\u00f9 che un semplice spirito, \u00e8 un sussurro antico che aleggia nelle case, nei vicoli, nei ricordi tramandati da generazioni.
