This one is about half way done. The picture is underneath and they
then fill it with the tessere (the pieces). The line between the mosaic
and the underdrawing is noticiable on the right.

Another one being made. The pope likes to give mosaics to whoever he visits abroad as a present and they also sell these.

Simon, Tom - For appraisal help, check with Rome based mosaicist/instructor Vincenzo Aiello who used to work at the Vatican Mosaic Studio…he’s still in Rome teaching, restoring, and creating new works in marble, smalti, and micromosaic. I studied under him for 2 years now. Greg.

My husband and I got a beautiful mosaic for Christmas and we would like to find out more about it. Where can I find out specifics concerning this artwork? It is of the Madonna delle Grazie.
