An exhibition of excellent craftsmanship in Luoyang<\/h2>\n

On the 10th, 11th and 12th of April I had the honor of representing the excellence of traditional majolica from Faenza in Luoyang , China.<\/p>\n

Thanks to an initiative of Eco Certificationi SpA of Faenza, following a request by the authorities of the province of Henan in China , a wonderful exhibition of Faenza’s ceramics was set up at the prestigious Museum of Luoyang, a city of about 7 million inhabitants.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was organized as part of the celebrations of the 32nd edition of the Festival Of Peonies , a high-profile event that every year attracts thousands of visitors to Luoyang . It was attended by important representatives of Italian institutions : the Embassy of \u00a0Italy in Beijing, the Italo-Chinese Research Center ” Luoyang Sino-Italian Science Park “, \u00a0the Polytechnic of Turin , and the company Eco Certificationi SpA of Faenza.<\/p>\n

Painting on majolica arouses great enthusiasm in China<\/h2>\n

Besides the exhibition of several traditional ceramics of Faenza (all of very high-quality) Eco Certificationi SpA, \u00a0in collaboration with CNA of Faenza, has made my presence \u200b\u200bpossible!<\/p>\n

For three days I was able to make a practical demonstration of painting on majolica, in front of hundreds of curious visitors , expert Chinese potters , as well as local authorities.<\/p>\n

They all showed great interest and enthusiasm for the event : I was always surrounded by many people , overwhelmed \u00a0by questions and I was the target \u00a0of hundreds of photos that quickly were shared through social networks and newspapers.<\/p>\n

I decided to paint a plate in Raffaellesco style, \u00a0to show how the traditional majolica from Faenza requires a high precision both in designing and in painting \u00a0with fine brush strokes.
\nAt the end of the third day, \u00a0I dedicated the plate to the city of Luoyang, which welcomed us warmly as guests of honor.<\/p>\n

Ceramics : an international language<\/h2>\n

In addition, to pay homage to the Peony , the flower symbol of China that blooms in April in the many gardens of Luoyang (to admire its blossoming they arrive from very far away!) I painted some plates with Peonies of different colors. It was enough to lay a couple of strokes that everyone recognized their beloved flower !<\/p>\n

The plates that I painted will be fired by Guo Aihe , an important \u00a0local ceramic artist (he exhibited at the Expo in Shanghai in 2010) . We visited his workshop and showroom, and he wanted to meet us in person. In fact, Luoyang has an ancient tradition of pottery, whose best-known technique is called ” tri-colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty .” At the Museum there are several beautiful examples of this craftsmanship.
\nI can definitely say that this trip to China has been a personal and professional exceptional experience. The recognition I received by the organizers , the authorities, and by all the visitors is a confirmation that the high-quality craftsmanship speaks a universal language that overcomes geographical, linguistic and cultural barriers.<\/p>\n
