I’ve always been drawn to old mosaics. When I see thousands of tiny pieces cut and set by hand, I am fascinated by the scenes frozen in tile and am in awe of the artisans who crafted them long before the days of electricity and power tools.
Villa Romana del Casale, one of only a few Roman sites in Sicily, is a sprawling villa covered in 3,500 square meters (Over 37,000 square feet!) of mosaic floors. It is one of the largest collections in the world and was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily.
It is now August and I still have not written or posted anything about my recent trip to Sicily. It is a multi-part story so I'll get get around to sharing it bit-by-bit in separate posts. The bottom of this page will have the links to all of the posts.
