Story
A mosaic from Sant'Adriano
The carpet takes its imagery from a mosaic in the Church of Sant'Adriano in San Demetrio Corone, Italy. Legend has it that the Dragon of Kaulon changed a charming emperor into a snake, and the mosaic belongs to that tale.
Gold in three dimensions
Antonio Aricò brings the flat mosaic back to life in bright colours. Its golden 3D elements recall the decorative character of Byzantine mosaics.
