Saturnia Hot Springs
$22.00
Cascate del Mulino, just below the village of Saturnia in southern Tuscany. Sulfur water surfaces here at about 37.5°C and cascades over travertine terraces the colour of bone, the same temperature in February as in August. Romans bathed in it. Etruscans before them. There is no gate, no ticket, no closing time. Early light catches the steam coming off the pools before the day's visitors arrive. The smell takes some getting used to. Locals say you only really feel the cold when you climb out.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
