Ypsigro, meaning “cool place” in Byzantine Greek, and is the ancient name of Castelbuono, the birthplace and historic home of Fiasconaro. A name that speaks of identity, belonging, and continuity.
From this heritage emerges a limited-edition collection that celebrates the pioneering and visionary spirit of the Castelbuono community: a tribute to the courage to innovate while remaining true to one’s roots. Burgeoning graphic designers are given an opportunity to design packaging for Fiasconaro’s innovative line of Panettone. Highlighting unique flavors as well as past cultural identity of Castelbuono and by extension Sicily. Ypsigro is meant to be a project that evolves each year through fresh artistic interpretations.
The Project
The first chapter of Ypsigro took shape in 2025, featuring an interpretation by Castelbuono-born artist Stefania Cordone. And In 2026, the project expanded to include a collaboration involving students from the Comics and Illustration program from the Academy of Fine Arts of Palermo, inviting young illustrators and graphic designers to reinterpret the visual identity of the packaging keeping in a mind a journey dedicated to visually reinterpreting the identity of Castelbuono. Through diverse artistic languages and creative sensibilities, the young participants have brought fresh perspectives to the local heritage, exploring the relationship between collective memory, tradition, and contemporary culture. Each edition hopes to tell the story of Castelbuono’s bold spirit through this distinct illustrative language. These artistic creations bring the packaging of a limited-edition collection to life, fostering a dialogue between art, local heritage, and taste. The selected artworks become part of the visual identity of the Ypsigro collections.
And the artists selected as contest winners receive a scholarship and gain visibility through Fiasconaro’s network.
