AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Ceramic plate ‘The Archaeological Walk’.

In this decoration, architect Gio Ponti revives the classicist inspiration of the Manifattura, which evokes the eighteenth‑century taste of Grand Tour travelers, but it presumably also references the route, inaugurated in 1918, near the ruins of Rome and indicated as the Archaeological Walk.
The white background highlights the Manifattura's capability, because it is made up of two decals that must be perfectly superimposed in order to create the gold highlight of both the dark blue silhouettes and the paving.
