From the Web:
“The passion for ceramics dates back to the early 1950s with Guerrino and Antonietta Zanardello. The history of Ahura began in the 1970s with Ezio and Flavia Zanardello. The name derives from ancient Persian (Ahura Mazda is the god of knowledge), in the small town of Nove (Vicenza), known worldwide as “The City of Ceramics”. The creative atmosphere and the unique charm of ceramic tradition have always been part of the lives of Ezio and Flavia Zanardello, who in 1973 gave life to this family business.”
