Marco Santi (born 11 February 1963) is an Italian artist, art restorer, businessman and mosaicist, director of the Gruppo Mosaicisti Ravenna since 2008.[1]
Life
[edit]Santi was born in Ravenna. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna and currently lives and works in Ravenna.[2]
Career
[edit]
He began his artistic career in 1979, working as a mosaicist and restorer at the Cooperativa Mosaicisti, a workshop of Ravenna mosaics of which he became president from 1989 to 2006.[3] In 2008, he liquidated the Cooperativa Mosaicisti,[4] reconstituting the "Gruppo Mosaicisti Ravenna," a company founded in 1948 with the aim of restoring Ravenna's cultural heritage damaged during World War II and creating contemporary mosaic works.[5][6]
Since 2008, Santi and his group have conducted numerous works in Italy and abroad, including in the United States of America (including St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York) and several European and Middle Eastern countries.[7][8]
He contributed to the birth of MUMO, the Open-Air Mosaic Museum of Tornareccio, in collaboration with Alfredo Paglione.[9]
The artist's largest work, however, is in Beirut. In fact, for over ten years, the artist has been working with his company on the St. Anthony Greek Melkite Church, where the mosaic becomes three-dimensional and the subjects of the work emerge from the walls.[10]
Marco Santi is the inventor of mosaics for the blind, thus giving the opportunity to perceive the three-dimensionality of the mosaic to all those people who have visual impairments.[11]
With Santi's Mosaicists Group he has carried out numerous restoration interventions in Ravenna (including the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe) and in several Italian cities, also teaching the art of restoration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna, the University of Bologna and the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata.[12][13]
