All 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.

Jewellery
The jewellery found at La Medusa is designed by Paolo Torella
and Lolita Reboredo. Most of the jewellery is either unique or a very
limited editions.
Paolo Torella was born in Rome. He graduated at the roman school for
goldsmiths by master Quattocchi-Caracciolo and worked in his studio for some years.
Lolita Reboredo was born in Berlin. After 3 years of professional commercial education she worked as
a secretary, office- and event manager and studied later on languages. Since 1984 she has a close relationship to Italy and
moved years ago to Lago di Bolsena, where she started her handcraft and opened La Medusa in 2006.
