Gray in its natural state, it becomes a warm red when fired at a high temperature.Thus terracotta and its distinctive color are symbols of a unique land and have been used to create innumerable works of art ever since the dawn of humanity.In addition to being a cultural tribute to the homeland, the use of this finish also lends an aura of real warmth to the subject, so that it remains faithful to the original model created by the sculptor, permitting his skill to be appreciated down to the smallest detail.
