Algunas piezas eran estrechas y curvas —debían pertenecer a pequeños cuencos o urnas— pero muchas eran pedazos de antiguas tegole, las tejas planas con los bordes inclinados que habíamos usado en nuestro tejado. Pero algo las diferenciaba de las tegole que yo conocía: eran el doble de gruesas que las nuestras y tenían puntos oscuros en el interior, como si un ave se hubiera dedicado a picar en ellas durante centenares de años. Otro misterio irresoluble era su ligereza.
Some pieces were thin and curved—they must have been small bowls or urns—but most were chunks of ancient tegole, the flat roof tiles with turned-up sides, like the ones on Il Colombaio. But they weren’t like tegole I had seen before; both the bottom and the turned-up sides were twice as thick as ours. And they seemed strangely pitted with dark spots inside. We washed and scrubbed but the dark spots—small holes—remained.
