The Carlo Zauli Museum was born from an exhibition and cultural production space created in 2002, immediately after the death of the artist Carlo Zauli, by the will of the Zauli family, inside the sculptor’s historic laboratory-atelier. In paying him this great tribute, the space has been redesigned so that it could narrate his work and recreate, with modern tools, the vitality that had characterised the atmosphere since 1949.
The museum houses two permanent collections: one dedicated to Carlo Zauli and one composed of the works of contemporary artists.
In recent years it has become a reference point in the production and dissemination of contemporary art, thanks to its multiple activities at the avant-garde of culture and experimentation: from Artists in Residence, to conference cycles, to contemporary music reviews, as well as educational courses.

artist residencies
Since 2003, the Artists in Residence project has aimed to explore the relationship between ceramics and contemporary art, inviting internationally renowned artists who may not usually work with this material but who are attracted by its arcane and familiar charm. The museum provides workshops, ceramic technicians, residences and staff, for the production of a series of works linking the surroundings with the artist’s vision. The works created are generally presented to the public in unexpected places around the region to then become a means of disseminating the work of the Museum and of Faenza itself throughout the world of contemporary art, with the exception of works selected for entry into the permanent collection.
