Does anyone know if the ceramic shops in Deruta close during the afternoon siesta hours? Thanks
I looked up the famous, from the 15th century, Deruta Grazia and it is open 9-1 daily, later times by appointment. We bought quite a few of their beautiful pieces.
We arrived last week around three and they were open.
Yes, most of them close for “la pausa” from 1-3 (roughly). Much of Umbria conforms to that and it’s one of the things you do have to work around.
Thank you all. I will plan accordingly. And thank you for the specific suggestion. I’m excited to be going there.
I’d add FIMA to your list as well. There’s one more that I love that I’ll have to dig up for you.
Note that most places can ship things home for you and a reasonable price. Both Grazia Deruta and FIMA boxed and packed everything very securely.
Thank you!
