The Friuli Mosaic School
Distance from Maniago: 20 km (12.4 mi) in 20 minutes
Founded in 1922, the Mosaic school aim is educational commitment, the union between tradition and innovation, between productive and cultural reality. In the brightness of the mosaic and terrazzo laboratories, hammers, logs and hardies still today mark the time of a thousand-year-old work. The craft’s sensitivity, unspoiled throughout history, is nourished in modern times by new stimuli through incomparable encounters with artists, architects and designers.
To the more than 30,000 visitors who every year arrive from all corners of the world, the gallery of the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli showcases interesting works illustrating mosaic techniques and themes from all time periods.
