Exactly 100 years ago, in 1924, the Mosaic School of theRavenna Academy of Fine Arts was born. To commemorate the centennial (1924-2024), the Academy has initiated a program of initiatives that include reviews, conferences and publications designed to engage the city of mosaics and its inhabitants.

From Oct. 12 to Jan. 12, 2025, the MAR - Museum of Art of the City of Ravenna, which houses a vast collection of contemporary mosaics, presents the exhibition I’m a Mosaic! From Severini, Sironi, Fontana to Paladino, Plessi and Samorì. The exhibition, under the curatorship of Paola Babini, Giovanna Cassese, Emanuela Fiori and Giovanni Gardini, traces a century of history from the time of the school’s founding and sheds light on theevolution of mosaic.
