Mount

A hill town on the rim of a volcanic crater, in the hills south of Rome. For four centuries it was where the popes went when the city turned to August heat, up the Alban Hills to the cool, the still water of Lake Albano dropping away below the windows. Pope Francis stopped using it; the palace and the gardens are a museum now, open to anyone who climbs the hill. The lake is the deepest in Lazio, an old crater that filled and went quiet. The town still empties into the piazza in the evening, the way hill towns do.

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