Buongiorno Ceramica! 2026 is underway. All the unmissable events of the twelfth edition

Al via Buongiorno Ceramica! 2026. Tutti gli eventi da non perdere della dodicesima edizione

The twelfth edition of "Buongiorno Ceramica!" will take place on May 23-24, 2026, transforming historic centers, museums, and workshops across Italy into open-air laboratories. The event spans from Piedmont to Sicily, featuring exhibitions, installations, guided tours, performances, tastings, and gastronomic events. Highlights include the Ceramiche Sonore competition in Castellamonte, the Museo della Ceramica's tribute to Marco Levi in Mondovì, and open studios in Montelupo Fiorentino, with participation from 60 cities organized by the Associazione Italiana Città della Ceramica.

This festival matters because it celebrates and promotes Italy's ceramic heritage as a living tradition that bridges ancient craftsmanship with contemporary creativity. By opening workshops and museums to the public, it fosters community engagement, supports local artisans, and reinforces ceramics as a key element of Italian cultural identity and material culture. The growing network of 60 participating cities demonstrates the enduring relevance and economic importance of ceramic arts in Italy.
