Cascata delle Marmore
$22.00
A waterfall on a schedule. Three drops down a limestone cliff above Terni, the biggest 83 metres, the whole stack 165. The water is the Velino, diverted into the Nera by a Roman consul in 271 BC and still released on a timetable today; the power station downstream keeps the lower stretch dry until the siren goes, and then it doesn't. Before the release the gorge is quiet enough to hear birds. After, you mostly hear the falls.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
