Mount

A small village above a cove on Sicily's northwest coast, at the south gate of the Riserva dello Zingaro. The faraglioni, two limestone sea stacks, anchor a tiny harbour where a tonnara processed bluefin tuna from at least the 13th century until 1984. The baglio at the centre of the village was first built during Arab rule, then rebuilt across the Norman, Spanish, and Bourbon centuries. Eighty people live here. The bakery on the piazza sells pane cunzato, warm bread split and dressed with anchovy, tomato, oregano, and pecorino, eaten on the wall above the sea. Late in the afternoon the limestone reads soft pink, the colour of stone that has been warm for a long time.

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