Ravenna is an historic city situated between Florence and Venice and it
is known worldwide as the 'Capital of Mosaics'.

In its 2000 year history, Ravenna was the last capital of the Western
Roman Empire and the center of Byzantine civilization.

After 2,000 years our workshop still preserves and cultivates the ancient tradition of mosaic.
