Sicilian carts<\/strong> are a tradition and a local folklore icon. Known all over the world, they originated in Sicily around the 18th century.<\/p>\n

In ancient times, they were built by carradori<\/em> (coach builders), skilled local craftsmen, and used to transport all kinds of goods.<\/p>\n

Several figures took part in the creation of these carts. ‘U firraru<\/em>, the smith, made all the iron parts, such as a cascia ri fusu<\/em> (a wrought-iron structure that joined the wheel axle to the bottom of the chassis). ‘U siddaru<\/em> saddled and adorned the draught animal with bows, ribbons, bells, decorated harnesses, gilded nails and red and yellow plumes, the colours of Sicily.<\/p>\n","titolo_paragrafo_1":"Detail"},"yoast_head":"\nSicily, The Sicilian Carts | Visit Sicily official page<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Sicilian carts Sicilian
