Mottled, loud, regal. It is the union of materials of different natures. Only a skilled craftsman knows what will be the direction of its veining once it reaches the firing point.
Lombardy Terracotta workmanship arose in the Lombard Italian area following the splendor of the Renaissance. It covered the most prestigious buildings with its veined, juxtaposed decorations, as if to reproduce marble designs from the most precious quarries.
Yet it was born from terracotta. A primitive clay, quarried from the beds of Lombard rivers among the different stratifications of the soil. And it is precisely the layering that makes it possible to manipulate the different clays with each other. Mixed, mixed in layers with distinct techniques depending on the decoration. Each kiln possessed its own method of forming and each area had its own clays resulting in countless, varied, types of terracotta.
As varied as the land of which it is made.
