Fifteen hundred conical roofs in two old quarters of a small town in the Itria Valley. The houses were built dry, stone on stone without mortar, so they could be pulled down fast when the tax man came up from Bari, then stacked back into homes after he left. The builder's signature sat in the pinnacle at the top of each cone; a cross or a sun, painted in whitewash on the grey slabs. Most of the dismantling stories are half legend now. The roofs stayed. People still live under them, in Rione Monti, where the lanes climb.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
