Magdalen Nabb (1949-2007) was born in Lancashire and trained as a potter. In 1975, she left her old life behind and moved with her son to Florence, where she knew no one and spoke no Italian, but where she fell in love with the local setting. Her Marshal Guarnaccia series was inspired by a real local marshal she befriended in a tiny pottery town.
