The cartoons of the great masters of the restoration, the sinopias and the section dedicated to the materials, with the glazes and the gold leaf glasses of the Angelo Orsoni glassworks of Venice give life to a path that introduces the visitor in a "laboratory" of the Art del Mosaico and accompanies him to discover how the "making" mosaic is not a simple technical procedure, but a wonderful artistic language, autonomous and complex.
