Impruneta is preparing to celebrate the ceramic arts with the twelfth edition of "Buongiorno Ceramica!", the most important national event dedicated to artistic and artisanal ceramics. On May 23-24, 2026, this charming Tuscan town will open the doors of its over 50 historic workshops and studios for an immersive experience in ceramic tradition.

During this spring weekend, you'll witness live demonstrations by master ceramicists as they shape clay at the wheel, visit historic kilns where artworks are fired, and discover techniques passed down through generations. Impruneta, with its ceramic heritage dating back to the Middle Ages—when its terracottas adorned the churches of Florence—represents one of the absolute capitals of Italian craftsmanship.

"Buongiorno Ceramica!" is the perfect opportunity to meet artists and artisans directly, purchase unique pieces straight from the creators, and understand the value of Tuscan artisanal excellence. Whether you're an experienced collector, a crafts enthusiast, or simply curious about how ceramics are made, this event holds unforgettable surprises for you.
