The term Cerreto ceramics refers to the ceramic production of the neighboring municipalities of Cerreto Sannita and San Lorenzello (Benevento). This designation combines the previous terms "Cerreto ceramics" and "Laurentina ceramics". Cerreto ceramics, recognized by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Crafts as "artistic and traditional ceramics", has ancient origins, although the most flourishing period of production was after the earthquake of 5 June 1688.
