November 1989 ended the rule of one party, and the sheltered market went with it. The majolica works came through hard years; the trade is smaller now than it was and lives on skill and on visitors rather than on state orders. The vineyards returned to private hands, and the wine road along the foot of the hills was reinvented as something people travel to see, with open-cellar weekends. In 1991 the old centre — the single long street, the surviving gate, the two churches — was declared a protected heritage zone.November 1989 ukončil vládu jednej strany a s ňou aj chránený odbyt. Majolikáreň prešla ťažkými rokmi; remeslo je dnes menšie ako kedysi a drží sa na zručnosti a na návštevníkoch, nie na štátnych objednávkach. Vinice sa vrátili do súkromných rúk a vínna cesta popod kopce sa nanovo vymyslela ako niečo, za čím sa cestuje, s víkendmi otvorených pivníc. V roku 1991 vyhlásili staré jadro — jednu dlhú ulicu, zachovanú bránu a dva kostoly — za pamiatkovú zónu.
