Mosaico romano di Lod

A Menagerie of Wonders

The Ancient Roman Lod Mosaic at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini

Topics: 

In collaboration with the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Shelby White and Leon Levy Lod Mosaic Center.

The only Italian stage of a travelling exhibition that has taken the mosaic to some major world museums has been made possible thanks to the support of Patricia and Phillip Frost.

A Menagerie of Wonders is an exhibition that provides a unique opportunity for the Italian public to admire an ancient Rome mosaic of superb iconographic quality and in an excellent state of conservation. The mosaic was uncovered in 1996 in the Israeli town of Lod, which according to an ancient legend was the birthplace of Saint George. Dating from the 3rd century AD, the mosaic is also particularly interesting because it is so well preserved. One of the finest and largest mosaic floors ever found in Israel, this archaeological gem consists of panels with detailed images of mammals, birds, fish, various plants and ancient ships. The mosaic is made of cubic stone tesserae of various colours: blue, red, yellow, brown, white, several shades of grey, and black.

On the occasion of the exhibition, the Fondazione Cini Institute of Art History has broadened reflections on the theme by conceiving and producing a photographic exhibition and two videos with the expert advice of Elisabetta Concina.
