Some of my fondest memories of Italy are of the Amalfi coast. On the Costa d'Amalfi south of Napoli is the town of Vietri sul Mare. Vietri is famous for its production of tin-glazed pottery. I have a charger on CW that is a scene of the town of Vietri painted by Landi 'o7. I think it is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Have a look at this site for chat about Vietri as a centre of ceramic production:
