The Spooky True Story Behind The White Lotus Vase

A couple of weeks ago I spotted these colourful Head of a Moor vases in a window of a small shop. These were exactly the same Testa di Moro statues that were scattered around that fabulous Sicilian hotel in White Lotus season 2 and yeah, I guess, there was a hint at the beginning that it was an ominous figure in Italian folklore referencing an old tale of heartbreak and betrayal. In this video we find out what is the deal with those statues.

Hello. I'm Marina, a passionate art and history writer, artist, and an ever-curious mind. I am also the soul behind the art history discovery app called Smart Art - Art History Escape.
Once I've noticed, that every time I end up watching a film, I immediately dive into searching for the true life facts behind it. Perhaps, I'm not alone who likes this kind of historic exploration?
In this youtube channel, I share my video essays provoked by the beautiful movies, books and series that were inspired by the fascinating people and events of the past and invite you to hop on this journey of discovery with me! I hope you enjoy it!

You choose the most fascinating stories for your videos. So professionally made and narrated. You should have your own Netflix show. ❤🙋🏻‍♀️

So fascinating. I always thought that Groot head planters were the thing but here is the real head planter that is not based on pop culture but local legend based on history.

Oh, thank you @arghentrock I was fascinated to learn about it either!

I love your dramatic acting with your gorgeous fella! No, I would not be interested in these heads, but if they were Romeo and Juliet I would.
