Mount

A 21-metre Christ above a Tyrrhenian town of 44 churches. The figure stands on Monte San Biagio with its arms held open, turned inland toward a small medieval basilica rather than out to the sea below. Bruno Innocenti sculpted it in the mid-1960s, commissioned by a textile baron from Biella who came south and never quite left. From the village of Maratea you climb a switchback road to reach it. People come at evening, when the sun is lower and the Gulf of Policastro turns the colour of pewter.

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