The fortress at the western edge of Milan's old centre, between the Duomo and Parco Sempione. Built by Francesco Sforza in the mid 1400s on the foundations of an older Visconti castle, and rebuilt enough times since that the brick reads as one continuous wall. The central Filarete Tower watches the long axis through the park to the Arco della Pace at its far end. Inside the courtyards now: museums, a Michelangelo Pietà left unfinished at his death. Office workers cut through it on the way to lunch. The Duomo gets the cameras; the castle gets the afternoons.

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