The Sicilian carts have been, and are, the expression of an important popular artistic culture,
heritage of the Sicilian people, which has influenced industrial and artisanal artistic
productions and even contemporary design. The essay analyzes three cases: the series
of furniture by Ernesto Basile, produced by Ducrot around 1906 and some creations by
Ducrot and others from the mid-1920s; a group of furnishings made in the 1920s and
1930s, in the style of the Catania carts; the dazzling contemporary creations of Dolce and
Gabbana stylists.
