Peperino vessel with roasted Tonda Gentile Romana hazelnuts
A larger vessel carved from local peperino, with a rounded body, articulated neck and cork closure. Its proportions draw from Faliscan and Etruscan pottery, translated into the weight and texture of volcanic stone.
Faliscus is presented filled with roasted Tonda Gentile Romana hazelnuts, grown in Corchiano in the Agro Falisco area of Tuscia. One of the characteristic hazelnut varieties of northern Lazio, the Tonda Gentile Romana connects the object directly to the agricultural landscape from which both its material and contents originate.
The hazelnuts are produced by Azienda Agricola Profili in Corchiano, where they are grown, harvested and prepared locally.
Together, peperino and hazelnuts bring two expressions of the same territory into a single object: volcanic stone shaped by hand and a crop cultivated in the surrounding landscape.
