The main square of Arezzo, and it does not sit flat. The whole piazza tilts downhill, so the cafe tables on the low side look up at Vasari's loggia on the high one. Romanesque stone on one edge, a Gothic palazzo on another, four centuries of building leaning into the same slope. Twice a year the quarters of the city ride a joust across it for a golden lance. Benigni filmed the bicycle scene here. Most mornings it is just the slope, the stone warming, and someone setting out chairs.

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