Poggi Ugo terrecotte Information

In a geological region characterized by the abundance of valuable minerals, locally called "Land of the Deep Blue", prospers the village of Impruneta, home to blue clay of unparalleled quality. The manufacturing of terracotta in Impruneta is an ancient tradition, dating back to Etruscan civilization. The activity of the kilns flourished in the 1500s, when the Medici and other noble families used impruneta terracotta pots and statues to decorate the garden of their villas. The building which houses the current Poggi Ugo kilns also dates back to the 1500s, and documentation from 1621 mentions a Lorenzo Poggi, ceramic artisan. In 1919 Tommaso Tobia acquired the factory and with his son Ugo Poggi continued the traditional artistic production.
