Mount

A small walled town on a low hill between Siena and Florence, built by the Sienese in 1214 to watch the road. The walls are a near-circle, about 570 metres around, with fourteen square towers cut against the sky. Dante saw it from the road below and put it in the thirty-first canto of the Inferno, comparing the giants in Hell, ringed and waist-deep, to the way Monteriggioni rings the hilltop. Inside the walls, two small streets, a parish church, a few houses, and the sound of footsteps on stone. The cypresses come right up to the gate.

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