History of Ceramics Museum in Sermoneta: from prehistory to the 20th century
The History of Ceramics Museum is located in Sermoneta, housed within the 16th-century Palazzo Ada Caetani, a historic residence on Corso Garibaldi. Opened in March 2004, it occupies three ground-floor rooms, with a collection of artefacts documenting ceramic production from prehistory to the modern era.
The exhibition layout
The museum highlights the major centres of Italian majolica, including Deruta, Faenza, Viterbo, and Caltagirone, through pottery, votive offerings, and brickwork. A specific section is dedicated to the grave goods recovered from the Caracupa necropolis. The artefacts come partly from private donations and partly from local archaeological institutions.
