The many Tuscan locations that produce ceramics become protagonist in this initiative “Un biglietto, mille luoghi” (one ticket, a thousand places), that will take you to authentic and traditional places. It also creates a network between distinct locations of artistic and cultural productions in three areas of tuscany that are classified as territories that historically produce ceramics; now they are certified by modern brands, the "Ceramica Artistica e Traditionale" of Montelupo Fiorentino, Sesto Fiorentino amd Impruneta.
A single ticket is available free at all the locations involved: museums, stores, tourist offices (APT). It provides discounts at museums and exhibit halls and participation in various events under the umbrella of the initiative. It also comes with a short printed guide that illustrates the itineraries related to Tuscan ceramics and the connections between these places.
