On the way to the East.
At MIC ceramics from the museum of civilizations in Rome.
On display at the Project Room are eight works partly from the deposits of the Museum of Civilizations (MuCiv) in Rome
A small but significant exhibition is on display in MIC’s Project Room from Nov. 10, 2019 to Jan. 6, 2020.
The exhibition titled “On the Way to the ‘Orient” showcases eight works from the Museum of Civilizations (MuCiv) in Rome representative of the main Eastern ceramic traditions.
A rich heritage that it was possible to re-exhibit after careful conservation review and targeted restoration work by restorers Brunetta Guerrini and Paola Rondelli of the MIC Laboratory in Faenza.
“The exhibition represents a further piece of a long collaboration that for decades has linked the Museum of Faenza to the Museum of Oriental Art “G. Tucci” in Rome, which a few years ago merged together with other cultural institutes (the “L. Pigorini” Prehistoric Ethnographic Museum, the “L. Loria” Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions and the “A. Vaccaro” Museum of the High Middle Ages) in the important reality of the Museum of Civilizations (MuCiv) in Rome.
– explains the curator of the Faenza MIC Valentina Mazzotti – This fruitful collaboration has brought to the Faenza exhibition a selection of specimens from the Iranian plateau of the Iron Period (1200-800 B.C.), Islamic production from Iran of the Samanid period (9th-10th centuries B.C.) and from China from a wide chronological span from the first historical dynasty (Shang, ca. 1600-1050 B.C.) to the birth of the Republic of China (1912).
The ceramics were chosen as an ideal complement and supplement to the specific sections of the Faenza MIC and delve into some particular productions of the various areas.”
The exhibition was made possible thanks to the decisive endorsement of MuCiv director Filippo Maria Gambari, but above all thanks to the invaluable collaboration of curators Paola D’Amore, Gabriella Manna and Roberto Ciarla, who have long been linked to Faenza by a deep relationship of study and friendship, which resulted in the definition of the Oriental sections of the Faenza Museum.
