How many things do your hands do every day?
How many movements have they learned?
How many gestures have they perfected?
Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso
Welcome to the Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso workshop, a magical place where ceramics come to life through the skilled hands dedicated to crafting and decorating since 1982.
Located just outside Monterosso, in the wonderful Cinque Terre, our workshop has become a point of reference for lovers of art and craftsmanship.
In our workshop, hands intertwine every day, creating a special bond between five close-knit souls. Each pair of hands represents a unique story, an intersection of passions and talents that has given life to a magical place: the Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso.
Milla and Franz, the founders of this enchanting place, opened the doors of the factory almost four decades ago, unleashing their creativity after attending a ceramics course. Their passion guided them towards the realization of a dream, bringing to life a place where art and craftsmanship merge in a symphony of shapes and colors.
But the story of this factory does not end here. Jenny and Diego, driven by the same creative flame, joined Milla and Franz on a journey full of discoveries and love for ceramics. Their hands have learned to skillfully shape the clay, giving life to unique and moving works of art.
And then there is Adele, the daughter of Milla and Diego, who has raised her hands in the warmth of this laboratory.
Since she was little, she has breathed the magical atmosphere of the Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso, learning from her parents and absorbing the beauty that lies behind every work of art.
La Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso is much more than just a workshop: it is a place where the sea and the mountains meet, where the waves carry inspiration and the breeze wraps the creations with a touch of magic.
Here, art becomes a way to express deep emotions, to tell stories, and to connect people through beauty.
Every day, the five pairs of hands that meet in this special place transform clay into masterpieces that speak directly to the heart.
It is a place where art blends with life itself, where passion and dedication mix with the beauty of the surrounding nature.
If you come to visit us at the Fabbrica d'Arte Monterosso, you will be welcomed by an atmosphere full of emotions, intertwined stories, and works of art that touch the soul.
Here, hands become tools of creation and transformation, and every piece made is a tribute to the love for art and the beauty that surrounds us.
