For its sixth year at Piazza Maggiore, Turkish Ceramics Promotion Group invites Cersaie visitors to the Fahir Atakoğlu Symphonic Project with the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini which will take place at Bologna City Center on 25th of September.

Ceramic production in Turkey has a long history and rich tradition, with the first ceramics being created in Anatolia over 8000 years ago. Today, Turkish ceramic producers are proud to continue this tradition of innovation with a creative approach and a broad range of high quality and durable products for both the professional and consumer markets.
