Premio Nazionale Ivos Pacetti per la Ceramica d'Arte

A prize for young ceramists

In the ceramic district of the Ceramics Bay, between Albisola Superiore and Albissola Marina (Province of Savona), the Premio Nazionale Ivos Pacetti per la Ceramica d'Arte is the competition dedicated to young talents. Reserved for students of Italian Academies of Fine Arts, the award is named after Ivos Pacetti, a key figure in Albisola ceramics in the 20th century.

From the call for entries to the artistic residency

The competition involves a national call for entries that selects the works of young ceramists. The winner is announced during the Festival della Maiolica, the major event of the Ceramics Bay, and gains access to a fifteen-day artistic residency at Studio Ernan Design, a valuable opportunity to measure themselves against the masters and the historic sites of Ligurian ceramic tradition.

An investment in the future of ceramics

Promoted by the Municipalities of Albisola Superiore and Albissola Marina together with the Circolo degli Artisti, the award is a sign of a territory that does not limit itself to preserving its ceramic heritage, but invests in new generations. It is a piece of the rich calendar of initiatives that make the Savona Ceramics Bay one of the most vital artistic hubs in Italy.
