Cooperativa Mosaicisti
Ravenna


"The Group mosaicists" at work 

Ravenna is a town of art with an inclination to the mosaic and  in this context the "Cooperativa Mosaicisti" has a very good position being the godmother of a rich tradition. 
During fifty years of activity, it has supported and encouraged the expansion of this field, also thanks to the synergism created between the schools and the businesses in Ravenna.

The origins of the "Cooperativa" can be dated back to 1924, when the School for Mosaic of the Institute Of  Fine Arts in Ravenna was established, according to the then director's will, V.Guaccimanni. 
In the first postwar period the Group of  Mosaicists of the Institute Of  Fine Arts (1948) was established, Salietti being its director. 
In 1976 it definitely shifted from the Institute and set up in the present association.

Recently, in order to improve its activity in this field, it has acquired a further qualification, it has become A.R.L. company, registered at the Chamber of Commerce in the builders register. 
In its staff, just not to remain in anonymity, there are prestigious collaborators such as : A.Racagni, Cottignoli, E.Casadio, Perpignani under the direction of the current president Santi. 
Its activity covers  a very field, having  job orders which start from the creation of restorations in the most important Italian towns, to the production of mosaics on important contemporary artists' cartoons, to that of copies for people fond of the art of the past.
