Florentine mosaic or more correctly 'Florentine commesso' originated in Florence in the late 16th century.
The stones are worked as if to make a jigsaw puzzle, in which the 'assemblage', i.e. the joining between the various stone sections, must be extremely precise in order to achieve a result similar to a painting. This part of the work is so important that it gave rise to the name 'commesso fiorentino', a term by which Florentine mosaic is still called in Florence today.
Maestro Lituana Di Sabatino graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in the 2006/2007 academic year in painting, obtaining the title of painting teacher. She then completed her training as a mosaicist at the workshop of Maestro Roberto Marrucci, (who passed away in 2013). He had trained at the workshop of Maestro Giovanni Fiaschi.
THE STONES
Selected, cut, they are the heart of the Florentine commesso, and their hidden beauty makes it possible to create works in which all the power and elegance of the nature that generated them can be found.
rodonite
Stone of Tuscan origin quarried from the Apuan Alps since ancient times
Paesina
A collector's stone, it originates exclusively in Tuscany
Calcedonio Giallo

LAST WORKS
