The early days
The earliest arechaeological finds and the information available in archival documents agree on setting the start of the ceramic production in Albisola around the last quarter of the 15th century, favoured by the presence of red clay deposits and of white earth quarries, found in various places of the plain and on the hillsides, of woods in nearby valleys and by the location along the beach, which facilitated the loading of finished products, also offering large spaces for drying the molded items.
