Verona Arena
$22.00
A Roman amphitheatre on Piazza Bra, ringed by the old town. The 1117 earthquake took most of the outer wall; four arches at one corner, the Ala, are what's left of the original three storeys. The interior survived. On summer nights the bowl fills with the voice of opera; it has done since 1913, the year they staged Aida here for Verdi's centenary. Locals bring cushions. Nobody hurries home.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
