We were fortunate to find this fun and interesting opportunity while researching cool activities. The website is okay, but email them to see if a specific date or time you are interested in is available. The studio is in a cozy street of boutiques and restaurants in central Rome. The history of the Cassio family and their connection to mosaics and the church is very interesting. We chose a portrait mosaic activity which is a little less of a class and more of an activity. We were aided by Uliana who was very friendly, nice and helpful. She took photos of us, picked the best shots and digitized the image into a pixelated black and white image. This was laid is a frame and we lay mosaic tiles over it. Almost like paint by numbers, but harder than it sounds. It was a lot of fun and very interesting. We'll definitely try another class on our next trip to Rome and highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in mosaics or trying something different.
