\nFaenza \u2013 Italy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sept. 16 \u2013 Nov. 28
\nRome – Italy<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The exhibition celebrates \u201cthe whites\u201d, \"Italian<\/a>a specific style of pottery that arose in Faenza in the 1540s.<\/p>\n

Their innovative shapes, designs and glazes determined their immediate success; within a few years from their appearance on the market, they were already so popular that many potters started to make them, both in Italy and in other European countries.<\/p>\n

Known as the \u201cpottery from Faenza\u201d\u00a0 or faentini, the whites became so famous that French people shortened their name to \u201cfaience\u201d, that is now the French name for Majolica or Pottery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Their glaze<\/a> was pure white, thick and it perfectly covered the biscuit. After the firing they were shiny and sparkling, thus conveying a strong hygiene and clean message to the Customer. And we all know that at the time hygiene was a luxurious benefit!<\/p>\n

The key element of their design was not the color (of course) but the shape, which was either very dynamic and opulent or had relief patterns. Glass and metal objects often inspired the potters, who used plaster mold to make similar shapes.<\/p>\n

The use of colored glazes was usually limited. Some yellow, blue and ochre were sometimes used to paint simple, stylized subject.
\nIndeed the production of the whites is historically set in the \u201ccompendiario\u201d time, when the triumphant glory of the Renaissance gave way to a more sober artistic trend.<\/p>\n

The exhibition displays 130 pieces. It starts with an overview of the \u201ccompendiario\u201d time which is very useful to understand the historical background of the production of the whites. Then the production of many Italian regions is displayed, starting from Emilia Romagna (Faenza), where the whites arose, then Trentino, Lombardia, Veneto, Liguria, Marche, Toscana, Umbria<\/a>, Lazio, Abruzzo, Puglia, Campania, Calabria, Molise, Basilicata, Sicilia<\/a> and Sardegna.<\/p>\n

The key source for the exhibition is the Matricardi Collection from Ascoli Piceno.<\/p>\n
