Small, medium or large, compact or open – they become real little boxes for your jewels or small sweets – these are our majolica Easter Eggs, all hand-painted with the bright colours of traditional Faenza decorations.

Come and see them in the store, we are waiting for you Monday through Saturday at 23/A Sant’Ippolito Street in Faenza.

As we approach the end of winter, there are still plenty of proposals for spending a weekend of art and culture, strolling through the beautiful museums and historic centers of Romagna. In and around Faenza, among the many initiatives, we have selected three that we offer below.

In between visits, we at La Vecchia Faenza are always ready to welcome tour groups for a free guided tour of the vast majolica exhibition and workshop where our art pottery is created.

A ceramist will lead the group with explanations in English in Italian; we recommend at least 40 minutes for groups, but the schedule is flexible and you can easily shorten or lengthen the visit according to your needs.

Visits are always free; reservations are appreciated for groups.
Individual visitors have free access during the usual opening hours.

Giacinto Cerone. L’angelo necessario @ MIC Faenza

An exhibition dedicated to sculptor Giacinto Cerone (1957-2004), one of Italy’s most original and free sculptors, far from the groupings, schools, movements, styles or fashions of the moment, continues through April 27. The exhibition brings together about 45 sculptures of various materials (wood, ceramic, plastic, metal, marble, plaster, stone) and periods, as well as 35 drawings, grouped by thematic series or individual works with an emblematic character.

All information about the exhibition can be found here.

The Portrait of the Artist @ Museo Civico San Domenico Forlì

From 23 February to 29 June 2025, the San Domenico Museum in Forlì proposes the exhibition ‘The Portrait of the Artist’: from Narcissus to the selfie, the art of portraying one’s own face has spanned the centuries and has always represented for the artist a challenge, a risky self-tribute, a way of analysing oneself, but also an opportunity to reveal one’s emotions and talent.

All information about the exhibition can be found here.

Nedo Del Bene @ Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste in Ravenna

From 22 February to 23 March 2025  Ravenna will host an art exhibition dedicated to  Nedo Del Bene, mosaicist, painter and illustrator who was born one hundred years ago in Sansepolcro and died in 2018 in Ravenna.

A lively and multifaceted artist, he chose Ravenna as his adopted city. His pictorial poetics is linked to figurative investigation, enriched by the sentiment and profound emotional suggestions of the ‘École de Paris’, which Del Bene approached during an important French sojourn.

All information about the exhibition can be found here.
