The Piggy bank of Albisola focuses on the territory, smiling ironically on the deep-rooted (real or supposed) “parsimony” of the Ligurian people. It has an ovoid shape, just like certain piggy banks from the 19th century in terracotta decorated in relief with roses and blooming vine-shoots. It is proposed in three versions that also allude to Albisola’s ceramic tradition: one in manganese brown, one in white-–blue and finally one with relief decorations.
