The castle on Megaride, the small island where Naples began. The Greeks who founded Parthenope here in the eighth century BC chose the spot for the harbour it makes; the Romans built Lucullus a villa on the same rock. The yellow tuff that built it is the same stone the city is made of, and from the ramparts you look across the bay to Vesuvius. The legend is that Virgil hid an egg in the foundations and that the castle stands as long as the egg holds. Down at the foot, the Borgo Marinari fishing boats still tie up where they always have.

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