EventsUntil 30 September, in the evocative setting of the former Convent of the Capuchins of Grottaglie (Province of Taranto), it is possible to visit the exhibition TERRA identità, luogo, materia (EARTH identity, place, material), realized for the 2018 Ceramics Exhibition. The 46 works from all over the world explore the art of ceramics, a material used in Grottaglie since ancient times: clay that becomes terracotta, an object of fine craftsmanship and an expression of proud identity.
