About

Local artist Giovanni Cammarata has erected a unique stonework house.

Built out of concrete, stone, and do-it-yourself ingenuity, Cammarata's unique home in Sicily, Italy is a sight to see, marveled at by passers-by, and at times grumbled about by locals, no one can deny that the home is unlike any other.
