Marcella Favaroni trained in a traditional workshop in Deruta under the guide of a ceramist Master. There she could acquire a firm expertise on Deruta’s traditional fifteenth and sixteenth centuries techniques and gained a good reputation among Deruta’s decorators.

In 1978, with her husband Cipriano Bungiatella, she opens her own workshop Ceramiche Miriam where she began to create furniture, lamps, plates and many other objects for daily use aiming to bring beauty and art in everyday life.

In fact Marcella’s style is a fine revival of traditional fifteenth and sixteenth centuries decorative patterns: acanthus leaves, peacocks and arabesques are painted combing amazing and elegant colors.

Her artistic sensibility attracted the attention of a wide public. In fact in 1994, Ceramiche Miriam was the official representative of Umbria at the exhibition Italy from past to the future that took place in Bruxelles.
