"Buongiorno Ceramica! “ returns to raise awareness of an issue that from North to South unites large cities and small towns of ancient ceramic production: today more than ever as AiCC we feel the need to create moments of union, synergy and comparison, to keep Italian ceramic traditions alive. Last year’s edition and the events of the past year have taught us how together we can be strong and promoters of a common identity. Therefore, this edition of Buongiorno Ceramica! wants to be even more a symbol of unity and community, to keep Italian artistic and artisanal ceramics alive and bring them together in the squares and homes of citizens,” stressed AiCC President Massimo Isola, mayor of Faenza.
