#artist Roger Capron the most popular ceramist who was inspired by the
#marine #environment to give life to this unprecedented
#ceramic decoration, originally made of twenty-nine glazed terracotta panels to embellish the
facades of the premises located under the Larvotto promenade 🎨 The artist would like to celebrate the wonders of the Mediterranean seabed animated by
