Since it was not becoming any cheaper to
build with stone, due to the enormous freight
costs, there was a return to the "Poor"
art of mixing water and clay. Tecnique wich
seems to have been known already during the
prehistoric era; allowing the manufactoring
of bricks and tiles.
There where the lands were particularily rich
of clays, some areas became more specialized
than others and whole valleys of kilns sprouted.
Producing materials for the construction of
houses, palaces, churches, hospitals, squares.
Today Gardenia Orchidea presents "Le
Crete di Pian della Fornace" line, made
for those who wish to surround themselfs with
beautiful hand made terra cotta and with warm
natural colours that remind of the past and
fully satisfy todays needs.
The fascination of "Le Crete di Pian
della Fornace" remains the same with
the passing of centuries and today, the floor
and wall tiles that we are introducing are
a duefull tribute to all those skilled kilnmen
that produced Terra Cotta. |
