The essay presents two private collections of handcrafted furniture, produced in Sicily in
the 1920s and 1930s, in various styles (secessionist, futurist, deco). Most of the furnishings
are due to unknown artisans, influenced by the work of important players also on a
national level, such as Basile, Ducrot, Bevilacqua, Fallica, Morici and Rizzo. There are many
furnishings from the dismantling of workshops and shops of artistic and historical interest,
which should be protected with the imposition of constraints.
