URBINO
Another celebrated artist of Urbino, who flourished in the middle of the 16th century, was Orazio Fontana, whose family name was Pellipario; Fontana being a name taken in consequence of several of the family being manufacturers of vases as well as artists.
The family of Patanazzi worked in the early part of the 17th century. Alfonso Patanazzi signed his pieces of the years 1606 and 1607 in full, as well as Alf. P. and A. P.
GUBBIO
Gubbio, in the Duchy of Urbino, is known principally by the works of Maestro Giorgio Andreoli, who seems to have monopolised the secret of the ruby and yellow metallic lustre, with which he enriched not only his own productions but put the finishing touches in lustre on the plates of Xanto and other artists from Urbino, as well as from Castel Durante. There is no doubt that the painting of the piece and the application of the metallic lustre colours were two distinct operations, and that it was painted and the colours fixed in the muffle kiln some months before it was touched with the lustre pigments, and again subjected to another baking. Giorgio was a statuary as well as a painter of maiolica, several of his sculptures in marble being yet extant.
Another painter in lustre, of the school of M Giorgio, has signed his pieces with the letter N., which is supposed by some to be a monogram of Vincenzio, the son of M Giorgio; and a painter named Perestino, of Gubbio, produced some very beautiful pieces, dated 1533 and 1536.
PESARO
CASTEL DURANTE
A great trade was carried on in pharmacy vases or Vasi da Spezieria, covered with grotesque heads, cornucopiae, &c., designed and shaded with light blue, touched with yellow, orange, brown and green, the patterns being mostly in a bold style.

VITERBO, RAVENNA, AND TREVISO
There were manufactories at these three places in the 16th century, but few specimens of their productions now exist. The first named is illustrated by a plateau; a man at the bottom holds a scroll inscribed "VITERBO DIOMED, 1544."
CAFAGGIOLO
Among the ornaments on this ware are frequently tablets with SPQR and SPQF , and on several the motto "Semper," adopted by Pietro de' Medici in 1470, and continued by Lorenzo il Magnifico. The device of a triangle and the word "Glovis," meaning when read backwards "si volge" , was used by Giuliano de' Medici in 1516, alluding to his change of fortune.
Fig. 20 represents the St. George of Donatello, from the bronze statue in the church of Or San Michele, at Florence.
