In 1540, the sculptor Giovanni Antonio Matinati was transporting a wooden crucifix across Sicily. Upon reaching Randazzo, he found shelter for the night. The next morning, a sudden storm prevented him from continuing his journey. This phenomenon repeated itself for three consecutive days, leading the town’s inhabitants to interpret it as a divine sign. They decided to purchase the artwork and preserve it in a church, where it still offers comfort to those who venerate it today.
This fragrance evokes the story and legend of the crucifix, capturing the intense aroma of carved wood, the enveloping sensation of comfort, and the freshness of rain. An essence that embodies the mystery and spirituality of Randazzo, transforming an ancient tradition into a timeless olfactory journey.
“When raindrops touch the earth, they carry with them the promise of new life, nourishing the fields and filling the rivers. This natural event can be seen as a sign that, after life’s storms, there is always hope for a new beginning.” – Antonio Alessandria
