The Mosaic of Andreina in Pratantico, Italy

The church of the Holy Spirit of Indicatore has become a popular destination for art enthusiasts and curious travelers due to a unique public art project. The Mosaic of Andreina, started in 2009 by artist Andreina Giorgia Carpenito, transforms waste into vibrant works of art. The project uses discarded materials like stoneware, tiles, and glass to form multicolored images of fish, trees, flowers, and people. The mosaic covers over 9700 square feet and depicts scenes from the Bible's Ezekiel and Exodus. The project is ongoing, with new artists and volunteers from around the world adding to the mosaic every year. So far, over 300 artists and 1000 volunteers have contributed to the project. The mosaic site serves as both an artistic workshop and a stunning display of imagery representing spirit, nature, and humanity. The project has transformed the local church into the largest mosaic endeavor in Europe. The mosaic's growth is a testament to the power of art to bring people together and create something beautiful from discarded materials. The church of the Holy Spirit of Indicatore is now a must-visit destination for anyone interested in unique and thought-provoking art.
