Parrilla Ceramics

Centuries of fine craftsmanship, sought after all over the world

Parrilla Ceramics — Cropalati, Sila

Since 1832

In Cropalati, a village near Longobucco, the Parrilla family has been working clay since 1832. The process is almost the same as in the days of the old kiln run by their great-great-grandfather, known locally as the “mattunaru”, the brickmaker.

In the art ceramics workshop, run by Caterina Greco, Pietro Parrilla's daughter-in-law, everything is decorated by hand: tiles, wall coverings and majolica home pieces with a design touch. They produce their own raw materials, and women from the village work in the workshop too.
