Mount

The villa at the end of a small wooded peninsula on the west shore of Lake Como. Cypress and plane trees come down to the water; above them a long open loggia faces the lake on both sides at once. Built in 1787 on the site of a Franciscan hermitage, the house was Guido Monzino's last home, and his expedition library is still inside. The garden runs in terraces. Most days the visitor lands by boat; the path through the woods opens only a few days a week. The light is best late afternoon, when the lake reads gold and the holm oaks turn dark behind the loggia.

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