    On the Trail of the Della Robbia in Tuscany

    On the trail of the della Robbia in Tuscany. Certosa di Galluzzo Florence, Giovanni della Robbia and his school created 66 busts in the cloister: Old Testament, Apostles, male and female saints. Need to go back and explore more. So amazing and inspiring! #dellarobbia #certosagalluzzo #renaissanceglazedterracotta #ceramicsculpture #maiolica #renaissancesculpture #florence

    Casa Rubboli

    Casa Rubboli stands at the base of via Nazionale just before the Markets of Trajan, attached to the 13th-century Colonna tower. The late 19th-century building is named after Vincenzo Rubboli (1835-1895) who commissioned the building. Designed by the architect Pietro Carnevale (1839-1895) the neo-Renaissance palazzo is noteworthy for the rich decoration of its facade in polychrome maiolica. The extensive ceramic embellishment was executed by Paolo Rubboli (1838-1890), the brot

    Sanctuary of the Madonna del Bagno

    The Sanctuary of the Madonna del Bagno outside Deruta contains an extraordinary collection of more than 700 maiolica ex-votives. The tiles are often inscribed with PGR (‘per grazia ricevuta’/for grace received) and are thank offerings for miraculous interventions of the Madonna that date back from the mid-17th century to the present day. A miraculous image of the Madonna in a cup discovered by a monk on this spot and attached to an oak tree was the origin of the sanctuary and

    Ceramic Fragments of the 15th-18th Centuries

    In the past, when a ceramic vessel ceased to function, it could be repaired or simply tossed out of the window or over the wall of the city. These shards come from a dirt road in one of the medieval towns on the lake of Bracciano which preserves the memory of time, revealing its treasures after heavy rainfalls. Ceramic fragments of the 15th-18th centuries: maiolica with painted or stamped decoration, red flameware & the wheel-thrown base of a vase (upper left). Tin glaze with
