L’Angolo di Terracotta di Paola Gorelli

The Terracotta Corner stands out for its production of high-quality majolica, made entirely by hand following the traditional 15th-century double-firing technique. Each piece is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, covering everything from shaping to decorating, thus keeping an ancient and noble tradition alive. The town of Montalcino boasts one of the richest collections of medieval archaic majolica in central Italy, a testament to its deep cultural connection with this art form. Inside the workshop, Paola, a Ceramic Master, personally handles the design of the decorations and creates them by hand, ensuring the highest standards of quality and authenticity. Antonio, an expert artisan, focuses on working at the wheel, skillfully shaping the forms that will bring the pieces to life. The new generation is represented by Lavinia, who also graduated from the Art Institute, and with her innovative approach, she helps refresh the tradition without ever compromising on technical and artistic rigor.
L’Angolo di Terracotta thus embodies the excellence of Italian artisanal ceramics, skillfully combining history, culture, and contemporary creativity.
