Carlo Zauli 1926–2026: Milan marks the centenary at Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano

Carlo Zauli 1926–2026: an exhibition in Milan

Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano in Milan presents a centenary exhibition dedicated to Carlo Zauli, reconstructing his path across sculpture, ceramics and design. Curated by Gaspare Luigi Marcone in collaboration with the Museo Carlo Zauli in Faenza, the show emphasizes Zauli’s exchanges with Milan’s artistic scene and the main phases of his formal development.

Host in the museum’s Ceramic School spaces, the exhibition adopts an intimate, workshop‑like layout that highlights the dialogue between Faenza’s ceramic tradition and contemporary experimentation.

Highlights

• Early vases evolving into the so‑called “disturbed vases” that mark an important volumetric shift.
• Stelae and clods, works that underline Zauli’s sculptural approach and his ability to transform ceramic material.
• The distinctive monochrome known as the “Zauli white”, a reinterpretation of Faenza’s traditional ceramics in a modern key.
• Contextual links with contemporary artists, including references to Lucio Fontana, to frame influences and encounters.

Why visit

The exhibition retraces Zauli’s key professional moments—from his engagement with Milanese events and his studio activity in the city to his Faenza roots and international collaborations—making it valuable for those interested in contemporary ceramics and the intersection of craft and artistic research.
