Deruta, located in the Umbria region of Italy, is a historic town renowned for its tradition of ceramic art that dates back to the Middle Ages. Situated about 15 kilometers south of Perugia, this small municipality has been one of Italy's most important centers for the production of maiolica, a type of tin-glazed pottery, for over six centuries. The town's cultural identity is deeply intertwined with its ceramic craftsmanship, which is evident in its historic center where numerous artisan workshops and studios continue to produce hand-painted ceramics using traditional methods.
The local style, known as Deruta ware, is characterized by its distinctive patterns and decorative motifs, including the famous "Raffaellesco" design featuring dragons and other mythological creatures. Beyond its ceramic heritage, Deruta offers visitors a typical medieval Umbrian townscape with narrow streets, historic buildings, and churches that house significant artistic works.
