Savona's Ceramics Museum fills in one of the city's most distinctive craft traditions. The collection follows Ligurian ceramic production through painted maiolica, pharmacy jars, domestic pieces, and decorative tiles, showing how Savona and nearby Albisola became known for clay and glaze as much as for port life.
The museum is a good indoor stop in the old centre, particularly if churches and fortifications have started to blur together. Look for the shift from everyday wares to more ambitious decorative work: it tells a neat story about a practical local industry becoming an art form.
