Incredible. I am amazed there are still artisans making this today. It’s priceless, I understand what you say about “if you have to ask for the price you cannot afford it”. This is for the rarified few. Curious to see what you ended up choosing. So interesting, thanks for sharing

The tiles I ordered will start arriving early in the new year but I'll be posting again in a week or so with the materials and patterns that I chose.

We hope to have you with us someday!

I touch my pocket with my keys every few minutes. It's grounding to think that I now own such a beautiful place in Lecce.

The floor is gorgeous! After seeing the work involved in creating a single tile, I can understand the price.
