Pine Cone

Fruit of pine, in different civilisations  the pine cone has enclosed the symbolic  weanings of vital force, immortality and  divinity. Linked to the tree that it grows  from, together they hold fertility and  regenerative force for the seeds it  contains. Considered since ancient times  in Sicily, a symbol of luck and prosperity,  the pinecone not only often dominates  the pillars of the entrance gates of the  villas, but is also used as a refined  ornament.
