After seven years of historic research, the symbol of Lipari( a decoration of the baroque period which dates back to the XVI century DC) found its identity. The symbol of Lipari is uniquely displayed in the corners of few ancient-made banisters. The symbol is exhibited in the balconies and on the streets of the island. The decoration, created by able artisan hands, is achieved through the “wrought” technique to form the centre-piece (the welded central element of the unique decoration)
of a unique design. However, today the symbol is found on balconies with a modern manufacture technique. The design is fused by soldering, but with less complex curves, reminiscent of Baroque tradition.

Why the Lipari symbol? The symbol represents the island of Lipari and has been re-launched from ancient times. It is present in every nook and cranny where the Baroque taste is still popular despite the introduction of new styles. Only in the last year has a historical cultural research on the decoration been completed.

Professor Antonietta Rosa Raso provided further insight after a long dialogue at the Baroque contest and I acquired a clearer historical concept of the elements which compose the symbol. The symbol of Lipari is composed of two Norman swords which cut the four winds, characterised by curls located in the four opposite points. Another important element is the centre-piece nail. The rewarding power emphasises of protection of the symbol. Firstly signified by the aesthetic design and finally the import of the symbol. The swords which cut the four winds serve as protection from the storms represented in the cardinal points of the Arabic half moon and the centre-piece nail to protect the larger shield (embodies Baroque artistry which is equipped with the powerful Spanish shields to defend itself during the bloody battles). Given the ancient traditions and import, the symbol of Lipari is ultimately an amulet to protect from misfortune.


Historical research conducted by Francesco Bertè in conjunction with Professor Antonietta Rosa Raso.
