This collection is inspired by the sixteenth-century original production " Orsini - COLUMN" which is considered one of the most important productions of ceramics of the Renaissance. A set of apothecary jars that was made to Castles on the occasion of a marriage between two members of the Roman families of Orsini and Colonna, a major event that was to establish a reconciliation between the two families in conflict. In fact, the best-known piece, the flask with two handles bear hugging column, preserved in the British Museum, bears the inscription "Et sarrimo facie friends." This collection was considered the source of Faenza and has been attributed to Castelli in 1989.
