Handmade by Koko Mosaico, direct technique on lime.

Aerolam base, cement mortar, smalti and precious marbles cut by hand with the ancient tools, the hammer and the hardie.

Finishings with cement mortar and marble powder.

Smalti from Orsoni, the historical Venetian furnace that uses the same techniques since 1888 to produce 24K gold leaf mosaics, colored gold and Venetian smalti.

These flowers, identified as rocks roses, can be admired in the majestic apsidal conch of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, which portrays a wood which is no longer there and that used to surround the basilica; a large green space popolated by trees and animals.
