  • Knowing the mosaic means acquiring knowledge of the formulas of composing, becoming familiar with the materials and traveling between different artistic contexts, in a continuous dialogue between past and present. The three-year training course aims to accompany the student through the acquisition of high-level technical skills stimulating creativity, towards innovative solutions able to combine a millenary art with contemporary artistic and technological research. Courses have the objective to involve the student in a journey in which “know-how” is combined with a broader scientific and cultural education. The teaching organization offers an opportunity for professional training able to focus on the concrete aspect of the fundamental disciplines , such as the mosaic and the terrace, stimulating awareness of the artistic and cultural context and an in-depth knowledge of the materials and techniques used.
