The cathedral stands on Via Vittorio Emanuele in the old centre of Palermo, a building the centuries kept rebuilding. Norman bell towers from the 1180s, a Catalan Gothic porch from the 1400s, a Neoclassical dome added at the close of the 1700s. The golden tufa limestone goes amber in late afternoon. Near the south porch one column still carries an Arabic inscription, preserved from the years the same walls held a mosque. Inside, the royal tombs of Roger II and Frederick II rest in deep red porphyry. The rooftop walk opens onto a view across old Palermo to Monte Pellegrino, the headland that closes the bay to the north.

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