Mount

The Duomo at the closed end of Piazza del Duomo, in the old centre of Lecce. The square has only one narrow opening, between the Bishop's Palace and the seminary; most visitors miss it twice. The local stone is pietra leccese, a soft cream-gold limestone quarried just outside the city. It carves like wood and hardens in the sun. After dark the floodlit façades take on the colour of warm bread. The bell tower beside the cathedral was built by the same architect. The Salento peninsula has hotter summers than most of Italy, and quieter ones.

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