Two leaning brick towers in central Bologna. The Asinelli rises to 97 metres and still has a staircase up, 498 steps wound through the dark. The Garisenda is shorter, leaning harder, and Dante stopped to look up at it in the early 1300s. Bologna once had almost a hundred of these towers, neighbourhood ambition cast in brick. Most came down by the fifteenth century. These two stayed. They lean at angles that should not still be standing, and they are.

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