Chiesa di Santa Maria del Carmine with mosaic tile artwork over the door
Another great view of his church and the mosaic artwork over its main entrance.
Mosaics are amazing not only because of the skill required to create them, but also because of their longevity compared to works on canvas, tapestries, or paper. The sun Can or fade them. The rain cannot harm them, for the most part. Their biggest risks are war, earthquakes and the human desire to replace history with something new far too frequently.
