MOSAICO DELL’ONDA is a spectacular 33-metre long mosaic wave, permanently characterizing the access ramp leading to the Classis Ravenna Museum.
Realized by the laboratory of renovation of ancient mosaics of the RavennAntica foundation with a ton of varnish and half a million tesserae, this installation represents an imposing wave that amazes and leads you to the entrance of the museum.
Designed by architect Andrea Mandara and mosaic artist from Ravenna Paolo Racagni, this spectacular waterfall symbolizes the relationship between land and water, through the brown shades of the former sugar refinery and the light blue and blue reflections of the sea.
Thanks to the refraction of light on the mosaic tiles, the viewer’s eye beholds the image of water in motion, with an emotional reference to the ancient Port of Classe, built in this area by the great Emperor Augustus.
