Faenza, Medieval city in Emilia-Romagna, Italy
The International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza exhibits collections from different epochs, including works by Picasso, Chagall, and Matisse.
The Roman settlement of Faventia evolved into a significant center during the Middle Ages, with the Manfredi family ruling from the 14th century.
The Palio del Niballo, held in June, features knights representing five districts competing in a traditional horse tournament at the municipal stadium.
The central Piazza del Popolo hosts markets on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, offering local produce, ceramics, and regional specialties.
The term 'faience' originated from this city's name due to its centuries-old tradition of producing tin-glazed pottery with distinctive white backgrounds.
