Unione dei comuni del Distretto ceramico, Municipal union in Emilia-Romagna, Italy.
Unione dei comuni del Distretto ceramico is an administrative partnership joining eight towns in Modena province. The group works together to coordinate services and support the region's ceramic industry and other shared interests.
The union was established on January 1, 2011, bringing together towns including Sassuolo, Fiorano Modenese, Formigine, and Maranello. The merger aimed to strengthen cooperation among these municipalities and pool resources for common goals.
Ceramic making is woven into the local character here, with workshops and factories still using production methods passed down through generations. You notice this craft's importance in nearly every part of daily life and in how the towns are shaped.
The administrative center is based in Sassuolo, making it a good starting point to learn about the region. From there, you can easily reach all eight towns, which are spread across the area and well-connected by local roads.
The leadership position rotates each year among the mayors of member towns in a set order. This arrangement means each municipality gets a turn to lead, sharing responsibility for the union's direction.
