The hall called Abisso Ancona was opened on a September morning in 1971, when a small group of speleologists from Ancona broke through into a room two hundred metres across and tall enough to fit the Duomo of Milan with the towers clear. The public path now runs about a mile through the lower chambers, paved and lit, past stalagmites and curtains of dripstone. The air stays at fourteen degrees in every season, heavy with mineral water. Outside, the Sentino river runs through a limestone gorge, and the road climbs to a small neoclassical chapel built into another cave above.

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