The Garofano pattern from Faenza is a timeless piece of Italian craftsmanship. Since the Middle Ages, the kilns in Faenza have been producing high-quality ceramics, renowned worldwide for their beauty and durability.
The Historical Legacy of Faenza Ceramics
History tells us that Marco Polo brought both pasta and the Garofano pattern from the Orient in 1279. Faenza, located 30 miles south of Bologna, has been a hub for ceramics since the Middle Ages. Known as the "City of Ceramics," it continues to be a center of ceramic art, where traditional techniques meet timeless designs.
Faenza and the Garofano Design
The Garofano design, initially developed in Lombardia, became a world-famous signature pattern thanks to the artisans of Faenza. This intricate floral motif captures the essence of Italian majolica, combining history, art, and culture.
