Characteristic clay flowerpots are a popular decoration of narrow streets in the Mediterranean countries. Colorful geraniums, pansies and bougainvillea blooming in the sun contrast beautifully with the traditional light beige facades of the old town buildings. Ceramic pots and flower trays not only decorate balconies and exterior window sills, but also the facades of buildings and courtyards. Rows of pottery pieces filled with rampantly flowering perennials, provide the historic neighborhoods of typical Italian towns with unique atmosphere.
