In Piazza del Popolo, between the arcades and the loggias, there is the discreet and balanced charm which the Manfredi family brought to Faenza in 1300. The rebirth of the manufacture of the ceramics that would make the town famous the world over took place in this period. Today, in fact, "faiance" is still the word used to refer to majolica in many European languages.

The International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza has one of the richest and most important collection of pottery in the world. In the museum you can discover the main producers of ceramics presented in different historic periods, from ancient times to nowadays.
