Vicenzo Dobboloni traces the history of the territory through the impact that various ceramists from different eras have had in the region. The experience excites because of the passion with which the craftsman recounts the art of the peoples who inhabited these lands in the past. But also because, after this introduction, he shows the ancient techniques of ceramic decoration, freehand, with brushes that he makes himself, including his famous brush made of hare whiskers.

Visitors can watch as he skilfully paints a faliscan-style plate or a medieval tile. In the first case, after choosing the model to reproduce, Vincenzo Dobboloni proceeds with red engobbio on a raw earthenware dish (diameter 10/15 centimetres); after firing, the decoration takes on a black colour.

The realisation of the tile, on the other hand, involves drawing a subject typical of the Viterbo Middle Ages using the spolvero technique, followed by the outlining with a manganese brush and the filling of the fields with ramina.

In either case, after firing the piece can be collected from the workshop or sent by the craftsman.

The Museum is not just an exhibition space. It is also a place where visitors can interact with the exhibits and engage in workshop activities.
