Andrea Palladio was forty when Vicenza handed him a problem: a Gothic council hall whose newer stone shell had collapsed at one corner. His answer was to wrap the old building in white marble arcades, each round arch flanked by a pair of narrower openings, the figure the rest of Europe would copy and call the Palladian window. Above it sits a roof of copper gone soft green, shaped like the upturned hull of a ship. People still climb to the terrace at dusk for an aperitivo, the square going quiet below them.

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