Italian term or phrase: title of a seminar in a language pair not my own
Ceramica a vernice nera tardoellenistica nel NE della penisola Iberica: tradizioni produttive e pratiche sociali.

I know little Italian, so I'm hoping the IT-->EN community can help me with this seminar title. Especially the 'vernice' and the 'NE'.

TIA:-)
