Mount

A shell-shaped square in old Siena, paved in warm brick and divided by white travertine into nine wedges, one for each of the nine men who governed the city when the piazza was laid out. The whole space tilts down toward the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia. Mornings, the bricks are cool and the cafés are setting out chairs. Twice a year the wedges are covered with tufa earth, the perimeter is fenced, and ten horses run the Palio around the rim. The rest of the year, people sit on the slope and lean back against the warm clay.

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