DERUTA: The majolica of Deruta is noted for its stylized portrait of heads and figures. In the renaissance era, these masterfully hand painted wall plates and containers, were exchanged as gifts among the noble families as they were often commissioned to depict a family member and also exchanged in special occasions between lovers for wedding or anniversary occasions.
