- The exhibition wanted to highlight themes – such as faces and figures – in different historical periods, starting from a mosaic copy taken from the Basilica of Aquileia, passing through the recreation of a Byzantine face of the Basilica of San Marco in Venice (where several mosaicists from Friuli worked since the 16th century), to then present subjects of modern typology ( with the reverse technique on paper by the sequesterese Gian Domenico Facchina), and arrive at the suggestive interpretations of contemporary music, an expression of the creativity of the students of the School. The exhibition is enchanting visitors. The exhibition will remain open until 2 December 2018 with the following schedule 10-13 / 15-18.
