For those who are unable to make it to the Italian countryside to experience the full spectrum of Altamura’s aesthetic sensibilities, there is Carola Fra i Trulli, a line of candles inspired by her love of fragrance, which scent the halls of La Pietraia.
Each ceramic candle (or trulli) is created using natural materials, from soy wax to raw linen to recycled cardboard. The trulli are fashioned by master ceramicist Franco Fasano, who employs the Apullian dripping technique, often referred to as macchiato, and come in a variety of vibrant colors, although each one shares the same signature scent: fig leaves. Inspired by the natural aromas of Trulli La Pietraia itself, every candle Altamura creates evokes a Mediterranean summer breeze.
