Resulting from the international conference "The Italian Maiolica in the Renaissance. Studies and Research" (Assisi, 9-11 September 2016), this volume brings together contributions by experts from various national and international institutions, and in particular from museums housing dedicated collections of Renaissance ceramics. The volume, edited by Giulio Busti, Franco Cocchi e Mauro Cesaretti, thus provides a state of the art on historical and ceramological research about Italian Renaissance majolica. Two opening essays by professor emeritus Bruno Toscano and professor Timothy Wilson (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) set the stage for the three thematic sections that follow. The contributions gathered in these sections respectively offer (1) a new interpretation of collections, collectors and museums, (2) a discussion of current tendencies in the research, and (3) an exploration of ceramic production before and after the Renaissance.
