Polignano a Mare
$22.00
A white town built to the very edge of the limestone, where the streets stop and the Adriatic begins, twenty-odd metres straight down. Between two cliffs sits a small pebble cove, Lama Monachile, an old bridge crossing above it, and most evenings a crowd gathers to watch the swimmers and the cliff divers. This is the town that gave Italy “Volare.” Domenico Modugno was born on these streets, and his statue still stands on the seafront with its arms thrown wide. People come for the photograph and stay for the way the light moves on the stone.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
