Molaroni Ceramics, a journey through 145 years of history
The exhibition reconstructs the fundamental stages of the factory, from its birth with the acquisition of Benucci & Latti in 1880 by Vincenzo Molaroni, to the consolidation of the "Ceramiche Molaroni" brand in the 1950s and the more recent "Molaroni 1880" label. A journey that spans almost a century and a half of creativity, during which the workshop was able to interpret and renew the great tradition of Italian Renaissance maiolica, establishing itself between the 19th and 20th centuries as one of the most representative realities of the Adriatic.
