Ursula Corsi lives in Pietrasanta, a charming town on the Tuscan coast, famous for its marble quarries and vibrant artistic life. When she talks about her work, her enthusiasm is palpable and contagious. “I have always been fascinated by the process of creating a mosaic,” she says. “I find it incredibly engaging to examine and pick the diverse materials that, one tile next to the other, will form the final composition, generating a perspective that is always personal and unrepeatable.” The vast array of interpretative options offered by mosaic making drove Ursula to explore this medium in depth: in Pietrasanta, Spilimbergo and Ravenna, three of the major mosaic production centres in the world. Later, in Faenza, she specialised in mosaic restoration and conservation.
