Ostuni
$22.00
The hill town the locals call La Città Bianca, the white city, above the Itria Valley, eight kilometres from the Adriatic. The lime that gives the old centre its colour was first brushed on for plague control in the seventeenth century; it stayed because of how the southern sun bounces back off it. The olive groves below run for miles, some trees more than a thousand years old. Mornings here are slow. People sit out on stone steps with espresso, and the cathedral rose window above the town catches the early light.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
