The products of the shop  La Medusa are handmade in our own workshop in Bolsena, Italy. With our art craft we want to create an aesthetic atmosphere, which is continuously disappearing due to the present fast moving market demands.

Terracotta   and  Ceramic

The most items offered by  La Medusa are made of terracotta and ceramic, realized in the workshop of  La Medusa  and designed by Giuseppe Utano, a Sicilian potter and sculptor, who has lived for many years in Bolsena. The richness of this area is due to the Etruscan and Greek classic influences. His passion for the historic past together with his imagination are able to give every object an individual character and at the same time to bring alive an antique spirit.

Giuseppe Utano was born in Messina and studied sculpture of marble in the well-known workshop by Carusi in Carrara. In 1997 he began his work with Terracotta and Ceramic.

Jewellery  and  Mirrors

6The jewellery and the mirrors that are available at La Medusa are mostly unique items which are designed by Lolita Reboredo. To create the jewellery materials used are silver (925), semi precious stones, perls and Murano glass. The wooden frames of the mirrors are decoreted with natural materials. Gold-, silver- and copper pigments are used for the colouring.

Lolita Reboredo was born in Berlin. She worked as an office- and event manager and studied languages. Since 1984 she has a close relationship to Italy, where she moved later on and started her handcraft. In 2007 she opened the shop of  La Medusa.
