Gran Sasso
$22.00
The highest stone in the Apennines, two hours east of Rome and a world away from it. Below the summit a plateau opens out: Campo Imperatore, wide and pale, the kind of high ground that goes quiet in a way mountains rarely manage. A cable car climbs to it from the valley floor. In the north-facing hollow under the peak, the last glacier of the Italian south has thinned to a seam of ice under the rubble. People drive up for the light on the limestone and stay longer than they meant to.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
