Faenza

Faenza has served as a centre of ceramic production in Emilia-Romagna since the Renaissance. Set on the Lamone River between Bologna and Ravenna, the city gave its name to faience, the tin-glazed earthenware that travelled from its workshops across Europe. The International Museum of Ceramics, founded in 1908, traces the story of this craft from ancient vessels to contemporary design, while local ateliers continue the tradition. Around Piazza del Popolo, arcaded streets lead towards the Neoclassical Palazzo Milzetti, whose interiors were decorated by Felice Giani.
