Florence's covered food market, opened in 1874. Iron and glass over a full city block in the San Lorenzo quarter, designed by Giuseppe Mengoni, the architect who drew Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in the same decade. The ground floor is still a working market: butchers and fishmongers, baskets of porcini, wheels of pecorino, bread on the tables before the morning is fully up. Nerbone has served lampredotto sandwiches at the same counter since 1872. The upper floor reopened in April 2014 as a food hall under the same arches. Florence shops here. Tourists shop here. The light comes through the glass and falls on the copper and the bread. Nothing about the building is quiet.

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