The church Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta turned into a monument to himself. Begun as a 13th-century Franciscan church, taken over in 1450, redesigned by Leon Battista Alberti with a façade of Istrian marble that quotes the Arch of Augustus a few streets away. The work stopped in 1460 when Sigismondo fell out of the Pope's favor, and the dome was never built. What stands is unfinished, mid-thought, the lower register complete and the upper register only sketched in stone. Locals still call it il tempio, the temple, not the cathedral.

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