The Medieval Art of Ceramics and Tarots in Viterbo

The noble art of ceramics in Viterbo has deep roots in the Middle Ages, and it is still possible to create beautiful pottery using those ancient techniques.
The ancient workings require time, patience, and somehow slowness. In a world where everything spins fast, even art can be contaminated by rush, but the ancient traditions have the power to sweeten the creative moment, making it immersive and more profound.
The Middle Ages are also obscurity, mystery, occultism, and esotericism, and Cinzia Chiulli, a local artist, manages to portray that era in her ceramics, also drawing on the world of Tarot cards.
