Maiolica Festival – Savona

The capital of Ligurian ceramics

Savona (Provincial capital) is the heart of the "Ceramic Bay," the artistic district that unites four municipalities of the Riviera di Ponente — Savona, Albissola Marina, Albisola Superiore, and Celle Ligure — along ten kilometers of coast. The Maiolica Festival, organized by the Foundation Museum of Ceramics of Savona, celebrates this heritage with a widespread program now in its fourth edition, dedicated to the theme of artist gardens.

Savona's program

In Savona, the festival revolves around the Museum of Ceramics and the city's cultural venues, with exhibitions, installations, performances, workshops, guided tours, and screenings. Among the events, the conference "The Living Memory of Ceramics", which reflects on the legacy and future of this art, and a series of initiatives that animate the historic center throughout the weekend.

A festival that unites art and territory

With over fifty events and a dozen exhibitions in total across the four municipalities, the Maiolica Festival is a choral story of Savona's ceramic identity, intertwining historical memory and contemporary creation. From Savona to Albissola Marina, with the "White and Blue Dinner," to the participatory project "Coeval" in Albisola Superiore, the event invites visitors to rediscover the ceramic Riviera.
