The Ceramics Museum, tucked away in the streets of Pietrarubbia, contains precious exhibits that reflect master craftsmen, ducal patrons, and a tradition where beauty and everyday life meet.
In the quiet, intimate atmosphere of the village, inside ancient buildings brought back to life, the Ceramics Museum welcomes visitors with its air of charm and grace. The fragments unearthed during restoration works have revealed stories of skilled artisans and thriving workshops: plates, bowls, and artefacts produced between the 15th and 17th centuries, now reconstructed and displayed in a space that invites you to observe details, shapes, and reflections.
Among the many works on display, a particularly notable one is a reproduction of the famous piatto da pompa with metallic lustre, produced in 1475 to celebrate the wedding of Costanzo Sforza and Camilla d’Aragona; the original is preserved in the Museum of Pesaro. It is a fragment of history that transports us directly back to the age of Federico da Montefeltro, when art was not merely something decorative, it was a symbol of power, beauty, and identity.
