Urbino - The majolica and the typical handicraft

 
Urbino is famed not only for majolica (the collection in the Palazzo Ducale boasts works from the workshops of Patalnazzi and Nicola da Urbino), but also for metals, fabrics, antiques and the preservation of cultural and art heritage. The tradition of printmaking and book restoration is deeply rooted in town.
