Maria Diletta Rondoni is an Umbrian artist. After graduating in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia, she specialised in ceramic work, studying in Deruta and Faenza. By reworking the more traditional form of the vase through an anaphoric and ritual process, her work is inspired by the metamorphosis of nature to express its strength and fragility.
