The Ceramics Museum of Montelupo Fiorentino derives from the excavations that have been carried out in the old town centre since 1973, when rehabilitation works brought to light a large water well that after being abandoned had been filled up with a vast quantity of firing waste from the nearby kilns. From 24 May 2008, Montelupo will be able to boast a new Ceramics Museum, extending over a surface area of 2,500 metres with a collection of more than 1000 ceramics exemplars. This volume is not intended to be a catalogue of the Montelupo Ceramics Museum in the traditional sense, but rather a publication that addresses the history of Montelupo as a whole, with a large section devoted to the technology and organisation of work in the workshops and kilns from the Middle Ages up to the end of the Modern Age. Finally, an extensive descriptive section is devoted to the most important types of ceramic ware produced over the span of five centuries. The author, Fausto Berti, has been the director of the Montelupo museum since 1982, and has to his credit an extensive series of specialist publications, including the work in five volumes Storia della ceramica di Montelupo and an important catalogue on the Capolavori della maiolica rinascimentale; moreover, in 2004, he also published an edition of one of the most complete ceramic formularies in Italy, I segreti di fornace by Dionigi Marmi. Contents: The historical-environmental framework. Population, the castle and the unforeseen evolution of a florentine walled land in the XIII and XIV centuries - Montelupo and ceramics production in pre industrial Italy - The production of ceramics: technology, methodology and organization of the workshops in Montelupo from XIV to XVIII century - The Museum of Ceramics.

Il Museo della Ceramica di Montelupo Fiorentino deriva dagli scavi effettuati nel centro storico a iniziare dal 1973, quando alcuni lavori di risanamento riportarono alla luce un pozzo idrico, colmato dopo il suo abbandono con una grande quantità di scarti di lavorazione provenienti dalle vicine fornaci.

L autore, Fausto Berti, direttore dal 1982 del Museo, ha all attivo una nutrita serie di pubblicazioni specifiche, tra le quali l opera in cinque volumi Storia della ceramica di Montelupo e un catalogo sui Capolavori della maiolica rinascimentale; nel 2004 ha inoltre pubblicato uno dei più completi ricettari ceramici italiani, I segreti di fornace di Dionigi Marmi. Contenuti: I quadri storico-ambientali. Il popolamento, il castello e l imprevista evoluzione di una "terra murata" fiorentina nei secoli XIII e XIV - Montelupo e la produzione ceramica nell Italia preindustriale - La produzione ceramica: tecnologia, metodiche ed organizzazione delle botteghe in Montelupo dal XIV al XVIII secolo - Il Museo della Ceramica.
