Venice, Italy
Basilica San Marco
Since its beginning Orsoni has manufactured mosaics for the renovation of the St. Mark’s Basilica and still is the only furnace that can produce the “Oro San Marco” for the restoration.
Between 1924 and 1926 it supplied more than 1,000 ancient gold plates.
The authentic 24 karat gold leaf is made with the ancient technique of the goldbeater and used for the pure gold mosaic made in Venice with the same unique process since 1888.
The method to produce the 8.000 mq of gold decoration was derived from the Byzantine technique.
Each piece is uniquely crafted with an expert touch.
