Treviso Canals
$22.00
A small Venetian city north of the lagoon, with its own canals fed by the Sile and the Cagnan. The water is clear and green, not lagoon-grey. Wooden waterwheels still turn against the walls of the old grain mills. The fish market sits on its own little island in the middle of the canal, the way it has since the 1850s. Houses lean out over the water with frescoes still showing beneath the eaves. Dante mentioned the meeting of the two rivers in the Paradiso. Locals call the city the marca gioiosa, the joyful march, and it is the kind of joyful that prefers a quiet afternoon.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
