    Roman History in a New Light

    Nothing feels as Roman as frescoes, so we knew that we wanted to do this class while we were there! Nina, the teacher, was very friendly and super knowledgable--willing to answer any and every question we had! The process of transferring marks and applying the paint is absolutely fascinating and gives you a better appreciation for how the masters accomplished it. We had reservations, since the class didn't have a dedicated time for the class (and I had trouble contacting the provider through viator) but they're quick to answer on whatsapp, so Type 1 travelers (like myself), seriously consider doing this!

    Thank you so much for your review! We are really happy to have introduced you to this ancient technique that we love!
    A wonderfully enriching experience!

    This wonderful experience WAYYYY exceeded my expectations! Nina was darling and so patient, personable, and upbeat. She gave a wonderful art lesson with history about how the masters painted frescos during the Renaissance, as well as helpful guidance as we created our own frescos with the same materials and techniques used by Michelangelo: the sand used to make the plaster and the minerals used to make the paint pigment. When my 23-year-old daughter and I toured churches and Pompeii afterwards, we had such an enhanced appreciation. And we’re thrilled with the frescos we painted, thanks to Nina’s help! This class was such an enriching experience and a highlight of our visit to Italy!

    This was a great experience- we learned the technical aspects of fresco and had plenty of time to complete our own pieces. The instructors are very knowledgeable and have been fresco restorers!
    Excellent activity!

    My son (8 years old) and I spent a lovely morning with Cecilia doing mosiac. She is a great guide, gave simple to follow instructions and had interesting stories and knowledge due to her experiences as an artist and as a restorer. We took the train out to her home and worked in her garden studio. Very recommended! Both my son and I will always remember it!
