Cutrofiano, the renowned 'City of Ceramics' in the heart of Salento, is preparing to host an unmissable event for lovers of craftsmanship and Puglian tradition. From August 8 to 15, 2026, the historic centre will transform into a fascinating open-air workshop, where master potters will continue to pass down the ancient art of clay working, deeply rooted in the cultural identity of this community. The Mostra della Ceramica Artigianale represents one of the most significant moments of the Salento summer, uniting tradition, beauty and artisanal passion. Every evening, from 7 PM to midnight, the main squares and monuments of Cutrofiano – Piazza Cavallotti, Palazzo Ducale, Piazza Municipio and the Ceramics Museum – will host masters at work, creating a distributed route where you can admire live creation, discover traditional techniques and appreciate the quality of the works. Alongside the expert potters, performances, live music, artistic exhibitions and the typical flavours of local cuisine will complete the experience, creating a magical atmosphere among the narrow streets and squares of the village. This event represents far more than a simple exhibition: it is a celebration of Salento material culture, an opportunity to discover how ceramic craftsmanship continues to be vibrant and vital, and an invitation to immerse yourself in the beauty of a tradition that endures and evolves. For those who love art, authenticity and the roots of the local community, Cutrofiano's Ceramics Exhibition is an unmissable appointment.
