Where: Scalinata di Santa Maria del Monte @ Caltagirone (CT)
History: the main landmark of Caltagirone is the 142-step monumental staircase of Santa Maria del Monte, built from 1608 in the old part of the town; the peculiarity is that each step is decorated with different hand-painted ceramics, using styles and figures derived from the millennial tradition of pottery making.
