Trevi Fountain
$22.00
The Trevi sits at the end of a Roman aqueduct that has been running since 19 BC. The water arrives at the back wall, a baroque cliff of travertine and Carrara marble, and falls into the basin in front of Oceanus in his shell-chariot. The piazza is small. The streets that feed it are narrow. People come around the corner, find it, and stop. Coins go in over the left shoulder; the city collects them at night for the food banks. Late afternoon the light comes off the water and the stone goes warm.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
