A NOTE ABOUT THE CERAMIC IN THE MEDIEVAL TOWN OF CERRETO. Today's Cerreto Sannita (BN) is the result of a new foundation, caused by a violent hearthquake that, in 1688, destroyed the pre-existent medieval town. Several excavation works made in the area of the ancient town, permitted the rescue of medieval and post medieval ceramics. These findings supported some notarial deeds concerning workshops of ceramists that were active in Cerreto and in its surroundings. The analisys of the findings pointed out that, during the late medieval age, the area of Cerreto has not been interested by an intensive production or circulation of glazed ceramic. In that place there is not the wide repertory of forms and ornamentations like in other areas of the Middle Volturno. Petrographic analisys also pointed out the presence of a local production of glazed ceramic that is probably connected to the subsistence. (Trad. G. Zecchini) |
