The Sicilian pine cone has always been a symbol of good luck, health and prosperity.
In fact, it is given as a gift to newlyweds on the occasion of births, graduations and other occasions.
In truth, the pine cone does not belong exclusively to the allegorical imagination of Sicily, since, on the contrary, it has very ancient roots and it is possible to find its symbolism even in historical civilizations such as the Babylonian, Egyptian and classical Greek examples.
The image of the pine cone has always corresponded to the idea of the Divine and immortality.
Being the fruit of an evergreen tree, the pine precisely, which never loses all its leaves even during the winter, it embodies the concept of life force and eternity.
