Guerrino Tramonti was a ceramist, painter, and art lover who lived in the 20th century. After his death, at the request of his family, the Guerrino Tramonti Foundation was established, operational since 2010 with the aim of promoting the works that the artist left in his home workshop. The Foundation is located at the Museo Tramonti, located in Faenza at Via Fratelli Rosselli, no. 8, and is part of the provincial and national museum system (Mibact) and the Association of Small Museums; it hosts exhibitions, shows, and events. The museum offers a public opening service, with free admission and, upon reservation, guided tours. In the 7 rooms of the museum, 390 works are exhibited that best reflect the artist's journey: an immense variety of shapes, colors, and a sublime expressive world created by an original chromatic sensitivity applied also to paintings on canvas and wood.
On display are: terracotta sculptures from the early period, the thirties and forties; paintings executed between 1945 and 1948, during the Venetian period, characterized by post-metaphysical aesthetics. The polychrome glazed ceramic works, which show great chromatic intensity and extraordinary quality of the coatings that give life to exceptionally clear and poetic images; the famous porcelains that made the artist particularly proud, works inspired by the materials and techniques of Chinese, Korean, and Japanese ceramics, the result of his alchemical research in the sixties; his famous decorative discs, executed with the thick glazing technique he invented in 1953, when he was the Director of the School of Art in Castelli, which distinguish his most peculiar style; the oil paintings of the second period, abstract and material, created between the late sixties and 1992, the year of his death.
