Description

iGattipardi is a glazed porcelain tile series by Italian manufacturer, 14OraItaliana. The iGattipardi series takes its aesthetic cues from the maiolica tiles of Moorish origin that are found across southern Italy. The name is inspired by the classic novel Il Gattopardo by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and each design is named after a character in the book.
