The Sesto Fiorentino Ceramics Archive

The Ceramics Archive preserves the manufacturing history of Sesto Fiorentino, where the ceramics and porcelain industry was a driving force until the post-war period.

Ceramics are the beating heart of Sesto Fiorentino, and the local council is proudly committed to maintaining, safeguarding and breathing new life into a place that serves as a living, creative memorial to Sesto’s ceramics.

The Archive is situated in a small, characteristic space, recognisable from the outside by a mural that embodies the simplicity and warmth of the art and culture that characterise Sesto Fiorentino.
It is a multifunctional space that displays works and tools by local ceramists to the public, as well as housing areas where the art of ceramics is practised and taught.

Visits by appointment only.
