Inspired by the Pageantry of Siena
Twice each summer, in the breathtaking medieval city of Siena, history comes alive in the thrilling spectacle known as the Palio. Rooted in centuries-old tradition, the word “Palio” comes from the Italian word for banner—the richly decorated silk standard awarded to the victorious district.

The Artist: L. Centinaro
Known for a distinctive abstract style defined by movement, color, and expressive freedom, L. Centinaro brings a contemporary artistic vision to the ancient tradition of Italian ceramics.
His work challenges classical boundaries while respecting the discipline and skill required for hand-painted majolica, resulting in designs that feel both modern and deeply rooted in Italian artistry.
