Description: Bummulu Malandrinu The Bummolo is a terracotta container used in Sicily to keep the water always fresh even during the summer. The history and use of this majolica object called "BUMMULU MALANDRINO" in Sicilian dialect intrigues most of our customers. It has very ancient origins. Examples have been found dating back to the 12th century. The tradition of this object comes during the Arab domination in Sicily and was used to pour water, oil or wine. Structured at the bottom with a perforated cylindrical base, it is turned upside down to be filled. The use of bummolo is based on a known behavior of liquids which pass into the gaseous state (evaporation) by absorbing heat. The material with which the bummolo is built is permeable and allows a certain amount of water to transpire continuously which, in contact with the warm air of the environment, turns into steam. The resulting heat absorption occurs near the surface of the container which then undergoes a sufficient temperature drop to keep the liquid always fresh, even when exposed to the sun.
