MAROSTICA AND NOVE (Ceramic City)

Nove - Ancora Ceramic Factory

Marostica >>>>
Giovanni >>>Nove - Ancora Ceramics
Back to Vicenza for a day then on to Marostica. Not well known in the tourist list, I don't think, but this is the little city that has the live Chess Game in the square of a walled castle. The wall climbs the hill and down again. Every other year, the even numbered ones, the piazza is painted like a chess board and the pieces are live and in costume. On to Nove, the Ceramic City of the north. We HAD to stop there. I've known this factory for about 22 years. Beautiful choices and a very worthwhile trip. This is the work in progress.
