Finished in 1889 and still the silhouette that means Turin from any rooftop in the city. Alessandro Antonelli started it as a synagogue in 1863, then kept revising upward long after the original commission ended. The dome, the four-sided spire, the brick lantern lifted above the Alps on the horizon. A glass elevator runs straight up through the centre of the hall to a viewing balcony eighty-five metres above the square. Since 2000 the Museo Nazionale del Cinema has filled the interior with reclining seats and ribbons of projected light.

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