Castles

Castle on a tile, coat of arms of the Comune di LivornoWe have already seen one of these fancy plaques in “Around the School”. They are usually found on any building owned by the municipality. In this collage you can easily see that they are slightly different and probably hand made. I have tried in vain to find when and how these tiles were made.

  1. They are quite attractive...I'll bet it's a local artist...or maybe they are a product of an art class at one of your schools.
