Italian Mosaic: The Holy Family

$4,500

"La Sacra Famiglia" (The Holy Family) Stones of the river Tagliamento (Italy) and marbles, 213×60 cm (approx. 84"x23"1/2). The Holy Family is a contemporary mosaic, born from an interlacement of lines. These lines generate, in the center of the work, the simple features of the faces of Mary, Joseph and the Child, thus embodying in them the image of nowadays woman and man. The black, grey and white shapes, instead, remind the technique of the stained glass windows, to suggest a sacred touch. The materials are the stones collected and carefully chosen along the sides of river Tagliamento (Italy) and in other places of the same region, to mantain a contact between the work of art and the place where it's installed. The project was born from the inputs of the customer. 100% Made in Italy by Italian craftsmen, whom graduated at the prestigious Friuli Mosaicist School, one of the most selective mosaic school in the world that accepts only a few dozen students each year from all over the world.

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

We are Marco and Nicola, two young Italians guys. Everything starts with the will to give credit and bring back to the top all those ancient artisan traditions of our 'Bel Paese' which, for years and decades, helped Italian products becoming THE products par excellence, the most wanted, sought-after and refined products, but also the more copied and imitated. No one manages to match Made in Italy's quality, especially no one can match the continuous research for detail, accuracy, that creativity element that makes an Italian product different and better than anything else.
The foundations of the globally known 'Made in Italy' brand are not just constituted by selected raw material, added value elements, fine details, but also and mostly by craftsmanship, its innate creativity, its innovative ideas, its ability to anticipate fashion and trends, its love for challenges and a one of a kind ability to craft unique products, all different from each other.

For us, Made in Italy means something that is designed, developed, manufactured, finished and packaged by artisans who are Italians and work in Italy. We also take one step further and we want to connect our customers with the same artisans who will make each product special and unique. We connect two symmetrically opposed but mutually necessary realities: small artisans with innate artistic abilities on one side, and a web community that grows more and more demanding and willing to buy online on the other.

Products made FOR the customer, listening to them, supporting their tastes and preferences.

Products that customers can feel as their own, since they are custom made and reflect the unique features of their personality and essence.
