Nestled in the heart of Sicily, Mirabella Imbaccari proudly bears the title of the “città del tombolo”, or the city of bobbin lace. During her exploration of the town’s rich cultural heritage, NeSpoon drew inspiration from the archives at the historic Palazzo Biscari, a former lace school, and the local museum’s collection.

Here, NeSpoon encountered a distinctive ornament known as “riccioli e rose / curls and rose,” and a beautiful doily featuring this motif became the centrepiece of her mural.

NeSpoon expressed her deep gratitude for the warm hospitality extended to her during her two-week stay in Mirabella Imbaccari.

“I am very grateful for the invitation and the extraordinary two weeks spent in Mirabella Imbaccari with Daniela Macri. Thank you to Angela Terranova and her family for their care and personal approach. My thanks go to all the organizations, especially La Fondazione Horcynus Orca, La Fondazione INCONTROcorrente E.T.S. and Foundation MeSSInA, Opera Tombolo Arti Manuali and Verderame Progettocultura and people involved in the creation of my mural. Thank you to Mayor Mirabella Giovanni Ferro and Vice Mayor David Granato. Finally, I am very grateful to the people of the city for their extremely warm and cordial welcome.”
