An emotional connection
- • Riccardo is a trained architect
- • Every single ceramic piece he creates is unique
- • His ceramic studio is on the Aventino hill in Rome
Riccardo Monachesi started an apprenticeship with Nino Caruso, one of Italy's masters of ceramic sculpture, just a few years before getting his architecture degree at Rome University, and this experience changed the course of his life. All his works are unique pieces which reflect the duality of his life's path, his creations touch the boundaries between art and fine craftsmanship. Riccardo uses ceramic as the perfect medium to convey a thought and, ultimately, spark an emotion. Over the years his pieces, created in his tiny Roman studio on the Aventino hill or resulting from artistic residencies, have been included in countless personal or collective exhibitions, both in Italy and abroad.
