The first of the Cinque Terre coming down the coast from Genoa, and the only one with a real beach. The old town and Fegina sit on either side of the Capuchin hill, joined by a tunnel cut through the rock. A concrete Neptune has stood at the edge of the sand since 1910, what's left of a villa terrace the sea took piece by piece. Lemon trees, salted anchovies, a sweet wine called Sciacchetra pressed from terraces that climb straight off the water. Eugenio Montale spent his boyhood summers here and never quite left it on the page.

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