How Has Silenzio Bruno Gone Above & Beyond?

During a multigenerational family trip, the weather unexpectedly disrupted their planned yacht day, leaving the family concerned about keeping the children entertained. To turn the day around, on the same morning, Silenzio Bruno organized a private ceramic workshop right at their villa, complete with 8 pottery wheels, where the family created their own souvenirs under the guidance of a master from Grottaglie. What could have been a day of disappointment became a memorable, hands-on experience that delighted both for the children and the adults!
