In all ancient religions, there was a symbol uniting the Gods and man.

These reflections gave rise to the "Traterraecielo" votive candle holders/lamps: a simple and deliberate representation of a sacred symbol obtained from an ancient, artisanal process (the colombino), made by hand. A large candle holder for a small light, held at the top by the same ceramic structure. The material is representative of the research, derived from the processing of waste that Tapinassi has developed into a patented and still unused mixture, ancient, rich in history and tradition. The products are left with a natural finish, conveying a sense of texture and mystery, fitting perfectly into Romanesque churches and parish churches, alongside marbles worn by time and the stories of centuries past. A close emotional and poetic symbiosis is born between the symbolic element (the mountain) and the earthly location (the small candle), elevating the simple object into a defined and meaningful symbol.
