Ancient Mosaic-Making

Mosaic is an ancient art form that immortalized both everyday and mythological scenes from the Roman Empire. For over 200 years, the Cassio family of mosaicists has kept this tradition. You are invited to our historic studio in the lively Monti neighborhood where we will share ancient secrets about the craft that you can apply to your own work of art. Surrounded by original tools, sketches by famous Italian artists, and important mosaic masterpieces, you will learn about distinctly Roman techniques. During this course, you will create your own unique piece of art — utilizing the principles of texture, composition, and marble tile cutting in the process. A master mosaicist will guide you based on ancient Roman mosaic rules and methods. You will leave the workshop with a one-of-a-kind, 7 by 5 inch masterpiece to commemorate your time in the Eternal City. Please note, this workshop requires handling various tools. For safety reasons, we recommend this experience to those over the age of 12.

Walking Tour in Rome with archaeologist

Please, read before you book! What can you expect from my tour? Being honest: if you are not the kind of person who particularly likes history, if you do not like receiving a certain information amount, I do not recommend that you book my tour. The pace is slow and I talk too much. This tour is offered by a guy that truly loves history, to other people equally interested. Alright? I offer 3 walking tours (we don't go inside of any place that requires a ticket) and each one has different routes and time. You can see the route and the time of each tour at the bottom part of the page and you can choose the one you prefer. About the cost, this is a guided walking tour and, usually, this kind of tour is tip based, therefore after the experience is over, I accept whatever you are willing to give me. About the meeting point, each tour has its own starting place, that may not be the same. If you book, you will get an e-mail from Airbnb with the information about the tour and its respective meeting point. Furthermore, pay attention to the messages, because I will send one in advance, informing where we will meet. Book it. You won't regret (I guess).
