A natural icon transformed into art

The Mushroom of Lacco Ameno

The Mushroom is a large block of green tuff that detached in ancient times from Mount Epomeo and was shaped by the sea into its distinctive mushroom-like form.

Today, it stands as the unmistakable symbol of Lacco Ameno and one of the most recognizable images of Ischia, attracting visitors and representing a strong identity for the local community.

The artwork by Paolo May

In this interpretation, Paolo May enhances the Mushroom through a three-dimensional language, using clay, glazes and colors on wood. The modeled surfaces give depth to the sea and sky, framing the rock within a vibrant sunset atmosphere.

  • Textures that evoke the movement of the sea
  • Warm contrasts inspired by sunset light
  • Sculptural presence of the tuff rock

From nature to collective memory

This work goes beyond landscape representation: it is a tribute to the history and mythology of a place that has shaped the life of Lacco Ameno for centuries. May transforms a natural element into an artistic symbol, carrying memory, identity and Mediterranean beauty.
