Barocco. The Grand Theater of Ideas @ Musei San Domenico (Forlì)
The exhibition offers an overview of Baroque culture: the ideas that gave rise to it, the key figures who shaped it, and the decisive role played by patrons. More than 200 works trace a journey through art, light, and power that began in Rome—the heart and birthplace of the Baroque movement—and went on to shape the language and culture of European courts.
The exhibition will be open to the public until June 28, 2026, at the San Domenico Civic Museum in Forlì, located in Piazza Guido da Montefeltro.
Alchimia Ginori 1737-1896. Art and Craftsmanship @ MIC (Faenza)
The exhibition offers a fresh perspective on two centuries of the history of the Doccia manufactory, presenting a unique account of the evolution of ceramics in the 18th and 19th centuries through the display of 160 porcelain works from the collections of the Ginori Museum. The exhibition highlights the interplay between creativity and materials, and between aesthetic exploration and scientific and technological progress—an interplay that has been at the heart of Manifattura Ginori’s work and led to the creation of the modern Richard-Ginori company.
The exhibition is open until June 2 at the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, located at 19 Via Alfredo Baccarini.
Musica nelle Aie + Motta in concert @ Castel Raniero

Motta’s concert adds to the festival’s lineup. The Tuscan singer-songwriter will perform on Saturday, May 9, at Castel Raniero as part of the “Romagna in fiore” music festival.
Buongiorno Ceramica + 100 km del Passatore @ Faenza
On the weekend of May 22 and 23, Faenza will host a two-part national event. Throughout the weekend, the historic city center will be taken over by Buongiorno Ceramica, the citywide celebration of Italian ceramics, and its packed schedule of events will bring life to shops, squares, and museums.
