Castellamonte boasts an ancient tradition of ceramics thanks to the red clay deposits found in the surrounding hills, which have allowed, at various times in history, the creation of important ceramic artefacts, especially simple tableware and the famous stoves, which have been transformed over time from tools for heating homes into true objects of design and artistic craftsmanship for home furnishings.
The International Ceramics Exhibition is a major showcase for artisans and artists working in the ceramics sector, who demonstrate their great love for a material that is certainly not easy to work with, often subject to the unpredictability of the craft, and yet always stimulated by new forms of expression emerging in this artistic field.
All this will be on display through works from Italia and the rest of the world, thanks also to the well-established international competition Ceramics in Love.
Throughout the exhibition, the city will be enlivened by cultural, musical and food and wine events. Guided night tours will be organised to allow visitors to fully enjoy the beauty of the works and the exhibition venues.
