Artistic Mosaic

The Angelo Orsoni furnace at Cannaregio, Venice, is a charming laboratory in which four generations of a family have been involved in bringing the antique works of Byzantine sheet of gold mosaic and the enamels of the Murano Renaissance back to life. Despite the rhythm of craftwork, the foundry daily produces coloured and mosaic glazes in the hundredweight, these used to decorate very famous works of art (from the Basilica of the Sacré Coeur in Paris to the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona), private spaces and town and public areas. The “library of colour” alongside the foundry also bears witness to the Orsonis' passion for the art of mosaic, preserving an impressive number of tones and shades capable of satisfying the most fervid imaginations.
