Caldera is a breakthrough. It is a rare landscape. It's what remains after the release of great physical energy.
Caldera is not the explosion but what follows it.
As soon as the ashes settle, the rumble ceases and the flames go down, birds carefully return to build new nests; the ever curious fishes approach again the shores; and men return and reconnect the wounded land with time and other lands.
Thus the Caldera becomes a harbour that provides shelter. It defines a fertile field in the ocean. The peoples that come to settle bring with them their memories, their duties, their seeds and their spices from close by and distant lands. This is how the Caldera becomes part of the legendary Aegean.
The Caldera is a kitchen. It is a repository of recipes. It is a bank that transacts savouries with time and places. It is an inn in whitch the frequenters exchange feelings, stories and legends.
Every day, fresh ingredients and fishes arrive in Caldera's kitchen. The lands around the Aegean provide the bread, the olive oil and a plentitude of wines and spirits. Without unecessary embelishements, along with the centuries old practices, the fire and the experienced hands render them into a delicious punctuation.
Bring along your words. Caldera will add the punctuation!
