Welcome to the Atelier d'Arte Paese dei Balocchi, an artistic laboratory founded in 1993 in Bologna, where painting, sculpture and ceramics come together to create unique works. Founded by the artist Simona Ragazzi and now led together with Roberta Angelini, our atelier is the point of reference for those seeking authentic beauty and personalized creations.
Every project we create, from exclusive furnishing accessories to portraits, busts and sculptures, is designed to satisfy the most particular requests. We work on commission using different techniques and materials, such as raku, sigillate earth and artistic ceramics. We also create personalized plaques, ceramic house numbers and bas-reliefs, ideal for unique furnishing projects.
Paese dei Balocchi is also a place that promotes the culture of doing art. We believe in the value of artistic, artisanal and manual work as a form of social and personal growth.
In addition to creating, we organize exhibitions, events and courses to share this passion. Our PdB Gallery hosts exhibitions and events that celebrate art and craftsmanship, creating a dialogue between artists and the public.
For over 30 years, our laboratory has hosted courses and workshops for everyone, even personalized ones, in ceramics, painting, sculpture, raku and other artistic techniques, open to anyone who wants to explore their creativity. Our courses are not only an opportunity to learn a technique, but also to rediscover the pleasure of creating with your hands, a gesture that connects us to the artisan tradition and helps us grow and express our creative potential.
Every corner of our atelier is an invitation to discover the world of art, craftsmanship and to transform ideas into reality.
Come and visit us in our internal shop to explore our creations and find the perfect piece for your home or for a special gift.
In Paese dei Balocchi, every creation is a dream that comes true.
