Carolina Zanelli
She was born in Udine, after the classical high school she graduated in cello at the Conservatory of Castelfranco Veneto (Tv), but then she changed direction and in 1995 she graduated as a mosaic teacher at the Mosaic School of Friuli in Spilimbergo (Pn). Since then she has lived mainly making and teaching mosaic in Italy and abroad. Starting from many years of experience as a teacher at the Mosaic School of Friuli, with which she still collaborates for short courses, she has specialized in the latter by collaborating with many institutions, holding courses from prisons to schools, at her own laboratory. Abroad she has taught courses or worked on various mosaic projects in Palestine, Holland, California, South Africa, annually in Chicago. You have participated in group exhibitions in Italy and abroad. A mosaic of her can be found in Sonia King’s book MOSAIC, Sterling, an interview with her in Vanity Fair magazine (April 2008). You collaborate with architects, private individuals and public bodies.
During the course the basic elements of mosaic techniques will be addressed:
The hotel is located less than five minutes by walk from the public water transportation service, with uninterrupted runs, both day and night, connecting the Lido to Venice St. Mark's Square.
The 42 rooms of Hotel Rigel in Venice Lido are unique for the choice of furnishings and the atmosphere that pervades them.
Each one is always inspired by different and fascinating themes linked to a historical period, to places in the world or to some famous person.
