Civita di Bagnoregio
$22.00
A town on a spur of tuff, reachable only on foot, across a long bridge that climbs to one gate. They call it la città che muore, the town that is dying, because the clay under the stone keeps slipping into the valley and the edges keep going. Eleven people winter here. By midday the lanes fill, and by dark they empty again. The writer Bonaventura Tecchi grew up nearby and gave it the name. From the badlands below, at the hour the light turns amber, it stops looking like a place that is leaving.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
