ABOUT US |
 The Fate of Nino Parrucca seems to mark long before his birth. Son of art from an early childhood is initiated into the world of craft in the studio of the parents, makers of the famous Sicilian carts. The brand is created by the homonymous founder Nino Wig in 1965, the year the company Pottery Nino Wig, transformed in 1986 in Co-operative Society which has as its chairman's daughter Angela Wig, supported by her sisters Patricia, Teresa and Grace and other valuable employees and transferring the headquarters in Via San Lorenzo, Palermo 291/ra. This company in its 44 years of existence has in its staff numbers before and successes. Among the most important worldwide, include the participation of artists in the competition held in Washington in 1999, for the construction of a representative symbol of the new millennium. About thirty thousand people attended, the dish "Living Together" produced by the cooperative, has arrived among the 20 finalists and was awarded during a solemn ceremony, the then President Bill Clinton. In 1998, the Franciscan Youth has commissioned a cross of St. Andrew donated to Pope John Paul II, so popular as to be preserved in the Vatican halls. Following the same wig Nino also got a plate in his Eminence. But these two are not the only examples of piety and love for his land that Nino Wig, Wig Nino through Pottery, showed, in fact in 1997 was made a man-high statue of Santa Rosalia, patron saint of the city Palermo. This statue has been immersed in the waters of Arenella and would still be there had it not been damaged due to vandalism 
The founder of Nino Parrucca as well as from religious issues, has always been sensitive even to those humanitarian as evidenced by the famous "30 hours for Life" fundraiser for the fight against cancer, organized by the Italian Post Office and sponsored by its Nino wig. To remember the postcard collectors are stamped with a special postmark and donated to all participants in the initiative. Another demonstration of these actions is given by the various collaborations with the Ministry of Justice for the recovery of the Child, which is still carried out successfully. Despite all this we must remember that Nino Pottery wig is a business and as such has always been tense, with splendid results, to the world scene. Important vehicles and opportunities that have helped make it possible to increase first and then this expansion have been given by the many Fairs and Exhibitions held around the globe, we recall the various New York, Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, Frankfurt, Monte- Charles, Helsinki,Los Angeles, Dubai, Paris, Melbourne, Chicago, Hong Kong, Houston. All this helped cause these ceramics and their brand can be found practically all over the globe such as in shopping malls Australian par excellence, David Jones, in Harrold's of London and Canada, in Karstandt in Pier One U.S. , European base in the U.S. Navy Exchange, which we are official suppliers, in Santa Barbara Italian Pottery, distributor throughout the United States, Malta, Lampedusa, Pantelleria, Ustica, and in many other cities in New Zealand and Japan.

Made in Sicily signed Nino Parrucca is in effect considered art, pride and national heritage as reflected in the exhibition "The Galleries" on Fifth Avenue in New York, a gallery which includes the most important Italian artists and artisans or various calls and application forms received by the Ministry for Foreign Trade. The same is true in the wig Nino person to whom, in 2001, was awarded the International Talamone, given the Sicilians most illustrious in the world, or again in 2008 by the Office of the President of Confartigianato role in exhibitions and fairs and even the appointment by the President of the Republic National Advisor at the Ministry of Industry. Leaves no surprise that several publications worldwide, such as La Repubblica, Il Corriere della Sera, Il Giornale di Sicilia, Time, The New York Times, on Sunday in Sydney, the Life & Fashion Canada and even the The Sun-Herald Australia have decided, spontaneously and autonomously, to devote articles with ardor and emphasis, have represented the company Pottery Nino Nino and its founder Wig Wig. The Cooperatio now is masterfully directed and managed by President Angela Wig and sisters Teresa, Patrick and Grace, all daughters of the founder Nino wig, which in any event continue to handle, for pleasure, public relations. For both the company's goal is to strive as much as possible to the world market, without neglecting the local level. This is the full demonstration of how a work of hands, but above the head of the heart can get to achieve goals for the most coveted by many. |
