The Eternal Art in the "Eternal City"

Those who had chance to visit the Eternal City now know that one of the Roman motto is  "Mosaic is the very Art of Rome, as it is as much eternal as the City itself".  People think that Mosaic is just a matter of gathering different tiles and then painting over ... instead, it is totally different. An amazing variety of small pieces of several stone marble having different colours, put together, creating something that goes from generation to generation...

In Ancient Rome the Eternal City had plenty of Marble and Mosaics. Those that can be appreciated nowadays are those which were preserved from the hundreds of plundering operated by the Barbarians throughout the Middle Ages.
