Montelupo Ceramics
Ceramic art with tourist accommodation, cultural spects with a typical Tuscan landscapes
Montelupo Fiorentino is located on the outskirts of Florence, in a lush area, bathed by two waterways. Over the centuries the history of the city has been closely linked to the manufacturing of ceramics, in particular between 1400 and 1530, when Montelupo was the center of majolica production for the city of Florence.
The MONTELUPO CERAMIC ROUTE was created to raise awareness of and enhance this history and much more. The Montelupo ceramic road is configured as a territorial system that also extends to some portions of the neighboring municipalities (Capraia and Limite, Lastra a Signa and Montespertoli). A system that combines ceramic art with tourist accommodation, cultural aspects with a typically Tuscan landscape, the valorization of typical products with a rich calendar of events. An ideal route that connects the Montelupo Ceramics Museum, the ceramic manufacturing companies, the Ceramics School, the associations that work to keep the ancient process alive.
