The delicate task was entrusted to SICIS which, using gold and Murano glass tesserae, skilfully elaborated these works through the technique of artistic mosaic. The internal artists of the committee in charge of the sanctuary painted the deities by hand and these were then sent to SICIS Ravenna laboratories. Here all the artworks have been recreated with the double indirect method (registered patent no. 0.000.222,556), created in 1989 by SICIS President and owner, Maurizio Placuzzi. With the evolution of the traditional technique of processing mosaic works, it’s possible to define all production phases in Ravenna laboratories, where there are a hundred artists specialized in mosaic art, and subsequently move them in their final places.

Each fresco was thus meticulously reconstructed, choosing the right tone for each brushstroke, for each detail. In particular for the incarnates, which are different and often representative of the divinity, the selection process of the tiles was crucial and in this the infinite palette of SICIS tiles was really of primary importance.

The mosaic masters thus recreated the images, paying maniacal attention to the expressions of the faces, the position of objects and symbols. In addition to the artistic mosaic, we find works in micromosaic and minute mosaics, which are extremely precious both for the creation of materials and for the technical preparation followed by art masters with special skills normally used for the production of fine portraits and jewelry.
