Shopping in Liguria a caccia di ceramiche di Albissola

In Marina, among the best-known manufactories, there are the Ceramiche San Giorgio, with a sales point and a rich private collection visitable upon request, because this is a manufactory that also boasts a long and well-established collaboration with masters of contemporary art, such as Lucio Fontana, Emilio Tadini, Milena Milani, Ugo Nespolo and others. Another place not to be missed are the nearby Ceramiche Mazzotti, with the characteristic sign in futurist characters, founded by Giuseppe Bausin Mazzotti, who played a significant role in attracting, at the beginning of the 1900s, a significant portion of the Italian artistic elite to Albissola. In addition to traditional ceramics, inside the Factory, you can also admire the Casa-Museo Giuseppe Mazzotti 1903, with unique pieces from the last century, several of which belong to the futurist season, and the garden with recent sculptures by artists associated with this manufactory. In Albissola Capo, the store-atelier of Sandro Soravia stands out, an eclectic ceramist who, after holding exhibitions throughout Europe, also created his own line of plates, small men, “fairy tale cones,” and other beautiful creations.
