Calia Italia was born in 1965 in Matera, whose ancient neighborhoods called “Sassi” - a unique place in the world – reveal an arid landscape, where tangled dwellings are carved in a white, porous rock on the slopes of a ravine.

To survive in such a severe, inaccessible territory, inhabitants have always nurtured a deep sense of solidarity and moral and emotional neighborhood, searching for a vital comfort to make life pleasant.

“People need to feel comfortable and relax, they love to close their eyes and dream. Our work involves mind and hands. Machines help us, but the most important role is played by man.”

Liborio Vincenzo Calia (1926 – 1998), Calia Italia’s founder.
