Do you know the legend of the Moor's head? It is said that in Palermo, around 1100, in the beautiful Berbère Amazigh neighborhood 'Al Hâlisah (today the Kalsa), a pretty girl with a pink skin lived, who spent her days cultivating and caring for the plants on her balcony. A young dark-haired man who strolled nearby saw her intent on arranging the flowers and fell madly in love with her. He decided to declare his love to her immediately and without any delay he entered her house. The latter, impressed by the charm and audacity of her feelings, returned with great emotion. Unfortunately, behind this beautiful love story there was a deception: the young dark-haired man was already married and had children. When the young girl discovered the cheat, but above all that he would soon leave her to return to her lands in the East (where the family was waiting for her), she began to plot an icy revenge. During the night, as soon as the young man fell asleep, he took a sword and cut off his head. The most macabre and intriguing aspect of the legend lies in its epilogue: the girl used the Moor's head as a vase to decorate her balcony, planted basil there and immediately placed it well exposed to passersby. In this way, the young man would remain with her forever, growing luxuriant and arousing the envy of the inhabitants of the neighborhood who, not to be outdone, had dark brown-shaped terracotta pots built. Nowadays, the ceramic dark brown heads made in Sicily are the result of the manual work of expert craftsmen and are an object of great interest for tourists. . . . . .
