The MIC offers a complete vision of the ceramic cultures belonging to any age and place; pieces from the Far and Middle East, from South America and all Europe allow the visitors to have a unique experience. It was founded in 1908 and now it preserves more than 60.000 ceramics, from antiquity to nowadays, all housed in great and suggestive architectural spaces. Ceramic masterpieces from the Renaissance, works by Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Leger, Burri, Fontana and other innumerable examples of excellence, make the MIC a unique museum in the world.
Our guided tour through this museum started with the earliest pieces mostly with one color, then moved to ones with more colors and details. Our guide was excellent giving us the stories about how each era added new ways to create ceramic pieces all the way to modern times. This was worth the time to see.

This is a 15th Century hexagonal tower that originally had been a castle. Depending where you are, the tower appears to be square The castle was reconstructed to be a fortress. It has a wonderful location high on a hill. We walked up the stairs to each level (6) and then out on the terrace. The views from there are spectacular. It really is a must see.
