Mount

There are about forty kilometres of porticoes in the old centre of Bologna, more if you count the climb out to San Luca. The covered walks were written into the city in 1288, when the council ordered every new building to carry one. The result is a city you can cross in the rain without opening an umbrella. The Portico di San Luca runs three and a half kilometres up the hill to the sanctuary, with six hundred and sixty-six arches, the longest covered walkway in the world. Locals call Bologna La Rossa for the warm terracotta. In the right late light, that is the colour the streets keep.

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