San Pietro in tessere: the great construction sites
Civica Pinacoteca "il Guercino" – Centro Studi
Second appointment of the "Da vicino" series, accompanying the exhibition "Marcello Provenzale da Cento". Paolo Di Buono, director of the Vatican Mosaic Studio, reveals the secrets of the mosaic construction site of St. Peter's Basilica, the largest of the modern age. We will talk about timing, materials, the relationship between painters and mosaicists, and the transition from painting to mosaic. A special focus is dedicated to the innovative technique of the artist from Cento, Marcello Provenzale, who used very thin tesserae obtained from thread. At the end, a visit to the exhibition to delve deeper into the topic, in collaboration with the Centro Studi Guercino.
