Righe e Stelle

Since the mid-19th century, these rosette motifs have been produced in countless variations and have come to be known in Grottaglie as "righe e stelle." While the molds and arrangements became somewhat standardized within each workshop, the varying pressure of the stamp and the amount of pigment used create subtle differences in each impression, giving every single piece its own unique character and expression.

Remaining in continuous use to this day, this pattern is one of Southern Italy's most iconic decorations, deeply cherished in people's daily lives both in the past and the present.
