The roots
Origin and history
The ceramic tradition of Vietri sul Mare began in the medieval period and became firmly established between the 15th and 16th centuries, when the town became one of the main ceramic centers of southern Italy. Thanks to the trade networks of the Republic of Amalfi, Vietri tableware and majolica circulated through Mediterranean ports. In the 20th century ceramics experienced a new phase with the arrival of Italian and foreign artists who renewed motifs and colors while keeping alive the traditional technique of hand‑painted majolica. Even today, Vietri is considered the ceramic capital of the Amalfi Coast.
The message it carries concerns the value of visibility. Giving this object means recognizing the importance of making cultural identities visible. It is a gesture that affirms trust in expression as a form of collective presence. It suggests that culture becomes stronger when it finds surfaces on which to declare itself.
