As Christmas approaches, our shop at Via Sant’Ippolito 23/A, Faenza, will also be open on the following holidays:

Sunday, December 7, 14, and 21, and Monday, December 8, from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 15:00 to 18:00.

Our usual hours remain unchanged: Monday to Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and from 3:30 pm to 7:00 pm.

We look forward to seeing you in our artistic ceramics workshop in the heart of Faenza, and on our online shop www.ceramicafaenza.it!

The weekend of September 6 and 7, 2025, is the time for “Made in Italy. Italian Ceramics Looks to the Future,” the Faenza market-exhibition featuring ceramists from across Italy, organized by the Municipality in collaboration with Ente Ceramica Faenza.

As part of the rich program of events that will enliven the city center, including exhibitions, performances, and shows, we look forward to seeing you at La Vecchia Faenza for a “stroll” through our vast exhibition of traditional, Raphaelesque, and floral majolica, with the opportunity to visit the workshop where we create our artistic ceramics.

Come take a break with us: we’re at Via Sant’Ippolito 23/A, just steps from Piazza del Popolo. See the map!

Our schedule for Made in Italy 2025

Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th September: open all day from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

We created this Faenza ceramic vase holder, painted entirely by hand with Flemish flowers, that is, flowers inspired by the famous works of Flemish painters of the past.

The flowers, all different, represent the blooms of each season. The inside of the vase is also painted: the golden yellow mezzotint enhances the ceramic and makes it suitable for display even without flowers.

The planter is suitable for holding ornamental plants, seasonal flowers or dried inflorescences and can also be positioned as a centrepiece.

A curiosity: in this type of decoration, the blue of the background is added as a fill, also with the tip of the brush.

On Saturday 24th May the 50th edition of the 100 km del Passatore will start from Florence (at 3:00 pm), the legendary ultramarathon “Florence-Faenza” that will see 3500 athletes competing on the roads of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines, climbing up to the Passo della Colla and then descending towards Faenza. The top finishers are expected in Piazza del Popolo in Faenza already late on Saturday evening, but it is possible to complete the long race until 11 am on Sunday morning.

For many, the 100 km del Passatore is a challenge with themselves and crossing the finish line is a dream come true, but for some the goal is a top ten finish, chasing first place to write their name into the event’s roll of honor.

Also this year the winners of the King of the Mountains, that is the first woman and the first man to pass the Passo della Colla (913 meters above sea level at 48 km) and reach Faenza, will be awarded by the U.O.E.I. of Faenza with a majolica plate made by our workshop:

They are two plates decorated in Pavona with traditional Renaissance figures in the centre; they recall the ancient custom of paying homage to rulers with a portrait on ceramic.

All that remains for us to do is wish good luck to all the runners at the start of this fiftieth edition of the 100 km del Passatore!

Buongiorno Ceramica! returns on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th May, the widespread festival of Italian ceramics that will also involve Faenza, its workshops and the historic centre.

On Saturday 17th we will be open at the usual times (9:00-13:00 and 15:30-19:00) and as always you will have the opportunity to visit both the ceramic exhibition and the laboratory where our decorations are born.

On Sunday 18th we will participate in two events that have now become traditional: the Breakfast and the Ceramista’s Aperitif!
