\nCastellamonte – Italy<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Welcome to the presentation of a highly fueled edition of Castellamonte Festival of Ceramics #48, a must for the lovers of Italian ceramics<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"Castellamonte<\/a>The event, organized by Vittorio Amedeo Sacco, will include an amazing number of exhibitions: more than 1000 art works by renowned Italian and International ceramic artists will be featured in the streets and historical buildings of this charming town, not far from Turin (Piemonte).<\/p>\n

Before going through the rich Festival official program, let\u2019s briefly have a look at the history of Castellamonte, where pottery making has been one of the most important resources for 6000 years.<\/p>\n

In the past Castellamonte residents were simply called \u201cpignat\u00e9\u201d (pottery makers) by their neighbors since most of the functional pottery used in the region was made here. <\/p>\n

The pottery business expanded outside the region during the 19th century, thanks to the quality, the creativity and the large variety of the products, which ranged from dinnerware<\/a> to statues, from door frames to stoves and industrial components.<\/p>\n

After a period of decline, the pottery business was relaunched in 1960, when the Festival of Ceramics was first organized and the Art School was founded.<\/p>\n

Today the stoves are the symbol of Castellamonte pottery production: charming architectural accents with the priceless virtue of matching function and aesthetics.<\/p>\n

In the shadows of the old kiln chimneys the Festival will start this year with the official presentation of the Monument to the Stove, made by Ugo Nespolo.<\/p>\n

Nespolo, one of the most celebrated contemporary sculptors and painters in Italy, and his Monument are the living manifesto of the Festival, which is definitely the place where Art, Design, Applied Arts and Crafts meet and accept the challenge of turning Castellamonte red clay into an artwork.<\/p>\n

\"Work<\/a>Behind the Festival many exhibitions and the over 1,000 works on display in Castellamonte is a common subject, which inspired all the artists, no matter what their age or cultural background is: the ceramic object and its relationship with Art and Experience.<\/p>\n

The purpose behind every work is to make people more conscious of their experience with functional items and the space around them.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of the key events.<\/p>\n
