About us

Tiziana Mondini

Born in Rome in 1975, she graduated from the Professional Training Center of Ravenna .

After a period of apprenticeship in laboratories and artisan workshops and collaborations with mosaic artistic realities in the city of Ravenna , he decided to found his own mosaic atelier and laboratory, In Tessere Arte del Mosaico , which would lay the foundations for the subsequent creation of the school of mosaic.

Tiziana immediately becomes a point of reference in the panorama of artistic mosaic for her great technical ability, refined taste and iconic versatility. Linked to the artistic traditions that allow it to guarantee excellent technical quality, it has always approached mosaic also as an artistic expression, not only as a construction and decorative technique.

The main feature of the artistic mosaic projects designed and built by Tiziana is the creation of extraordinary tile textures that transform the mosaic into a real plastic material. His works have been presented in various regional and national exhibitions, receiving mentions and awards for their originality and excellent workmanship.

Artistic workshop in mosaic art tiles

Alongside the school's activities, Tiziana deals with the production of artistic mosaics for interior design, furniture and architecture projects.

In fact, for over 25 years Tiziana and her team made up of master mosaicists, artisans and artists have spread the tradition of artistic mosaic respecting the canons of the ancient artisan workshop and creating excellent and iconic mosaic works for interiors and exteriors in small and large formats .

In fact, Tessere Arte del mosaico plans, designs and creates unique and exclusive artistic mosaics and tailor-made projects inspired by the Italian mosaic tradition but also more modern and contemporary projects with unconventional materials for private clients, public bodies and organisations.
