The Venue
Archivio Industriale Bitossi, located within the historic location of Montelupo Fiorentino, was founded by the Vittoriano Bitossi Foundation, whose aim is to enhance and disseminate the culture of ceramics. The Foundation has supported the collection, the sorting and the cataloguing of its set of ceramics, resulting in a collection of more than 7000 items documenting the Bitossi production from the end of the 19th century until today. On the occasion of the centenary of the Bitossi Ceramiche factory, 1921-2021, the Bitossi Museum Archive was opened to the public, a museum exhibition of the industrial archive, aimed at preserving the historical documentation of the company and creating a repository of know-how ceramic.
Archivio Industriale Bitossi organizes cultural events, helping set up exhibitions dedicated to design and to the history of ceramics of the 20th century.
