Religious art

Heir to the Roman mosaic legacy and firmly confirmed over the centuries in the decoration of religious buildings, Studio Cassio has been involved since the 1940s in the creation of numerous mosaics for shrines, churches, cathedrals, monasteries, abbeys and cemeteries, both in Italy and abroad. Working with contemporary artists such as Cambellotti, Missori, Quaroni, Gaudenzi, Grottini, Selva, not to mention the long partnership with Johannes Hajnal, has enabled the Studio to renovate and develop the much treasured tradition of Roman mosaics.
Religious Art constitutes the most important part of the Studio’s works. However, what follows is only a short list of the rich and various artworks.
