FLORENTINE MOSAIC ARTISAN
LITUANA DI SABATINO
she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in the 2006/2007 academic year in painting, obtaining the title of painting teacher.
She completed her training as a mosaicist in the workshop of master Roberto Marrucci, (who passed away in 2013). He had trained at the workshop of Maestro Giovanni Fiaschi.
Passionate about his craft and all aspects of this work, the master undertook to pass on to his pupil, Lituana Di Sabatino, the secrets of ancient techniques and, above all, the places of the ancient quarries, where the Opificio delle pietre dure (Semi-precious Stones Workshop) searched for the precious materials to make the ‘Florentine commesso’.
At present, Lithuanian artisan Di Sabatino executes works of her own creation and reproductions, working on perfecting the technique.
