Garden pot terracotta

In a geological region characterized by the abundance of valuable minerals, locally called " Land of the Deep Blue ", prospers the village of Impruneta, home to blue clay of unparalleled quality. The manufacturing of terracotta in Impruneta is an ancient tradition, dating back long before the Renaissance to Etruscan civilization.
The activity of the kilns flourished in the 1500s, when the Medici and other noble families used impruneta terracotta vases and statues to decorate the garden of their villas.
