MOSAICI AL RISTORANTE

Alla trattoria cubana da Irma e Pino, sul porto canale di Marina di Ravenna, oltre a servire un ottimo pesce alla griglia, hanno pensato bene di proporlo ai clienti anche sotto una altra forma, a forma di mosaico. Difatti la facciata del ristorante è decorata con copie di mosaici pavimentali romani della Tunisia, raffiguranti putti che cavalcano e giocano con pesci di vario genere e misura.I tre mosaici sono stati realizzati con la tecnica diretta su supporto provvisorio, tramite l’utilizzo di tessere marmoree e lapidee rigorosamente tagliate a mano.
