Faenza — Museo della Ceramica

Emilia-Romagna

Faenza's maiolica ceramics were so influential across Europe that the French term "faïence" derives directly from the town's name, a heritage documented in one of the world's most comprehensive ceramics museums. The historic centre's flat streets are easy to explore, lined with still-active ceramic workshops.
