I loved visiting this school to see the young artists making their incredible works of art. You can look at the workshops and see how the mosaics are made from start to finish. In addition the halls of the school are covered by the works of classes from the past. It’s a true marvel to see. If you’re at all interested in this type of art, you must visit this place. It’s magical.

It doesn't seem like much from the outside, but wow when you get inside and start moving among the classrooms... Visitors can freely circulate the school and observe what the students are doing in all classrooms. It's an unusual experience, you know - to see such a quiet school: everybody's concentrated on their own work, some people wear headphones and work.
The pieces are amazing, you wouldn't believe what types of "pictures" people can do with these little pieces of material.
Consequently, there are lots of mosaics across the city as well.
On a separate note, there's also a cute gelato bar on the corner of the street, where all the students apparently go during their break :)
Entrance is free. Obviously closed on weekends, since it's a school. Parking in front.
They also have a website for more detailed information.

Friends suggested we visit the school, but the front door was locked and the building seemed vacant when we arrived. We wandered around to the back patio, where several mosaic pieces were on display. We tried the back doors, and they were unlocked, so we went in. One of the instructors said we we: classrooms where we saw student works-in-progress, hallways with exceptional pieces on display, and two galleries filled with artwork. The techniques are traditional but the results are extraordinary, ranging from classic to contemporary. In particular, the portraiture was spectacular. Do visit this gem!

We retained Simonetta di Paoli (depaolisimonetta (at) gmail.com ) to show us around this incredible school. It provides a 3 year program for 150 students who come from around the world. The floors of the school are mosaics. The walls are chock-a-block with mosaics. Even the bathrooms have mosaics.
The best part . . . because our guide knew all the teachers . . . was being able to go into the classrooms and watch the students working on their mosaic assignments.

This school for mosaics is known world wide for the quality of it's work and it's art is displayed at Ground Zero in New York and in Jerusalem at the tomb of the Holy Sepulcher, to name a few. A walk through the halls allows you to see students at work, learn about this art, and see everything from traditional scenes to ultra contemporary works. Admission is free.

I have been involved in the Hard Surface Industry from Childhood and was hand selected to make a brief Stage at the Grand School in the town of Spillembergo about 14 years ago by a group of Windsor/Detroit Art Philanthropist and was, to say the least, very impressed by this world class establishment known to me for quite some time by my Mentors during my apprenticeship as they had all attended this fine School as youngsters prior to immigrating to Canada.
As a budding Mosaicisto I was set on fire by the sheer passion and brilliance the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli imparted on me. Something that still lives burning inside of me all these years later.
My stay at the School was very much the highlight of my experiences !I have, since returning to Canada made reference to many travellers, much to they're amazement and delight. They seemed to have taken away a little of my experience merely through a weekend visit and tour !
I am presently organizing future Tours of the Ancient Mosaic districts of Italy and The School in Spillembergo will most certainly be one of the major focuses of my Tours !
Salute to Spillembergo and 'La Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli !
Sincerely

Among many great experiences during a week in the Friulli Venezia Giulia region, this stands out as one of the highlights. We visited in a Sunday, when the school was closed, so we had free run of the whole place, classrooms included. The quality of the work produced by the students is extraordinary and goes well beyond the traditional mosaics in the classic style. Thank goodness places of learning like this survive and thrive in tough modern times.

A really good insight into mosaic artwork. As I only speak English I would have liked more translated explanations next to artworks however I understand you can't cater for everyone. Some of the 3D mosaics were amazing. There are true artisans out there. I would have liked to see more pieces for sale too. Overall definitely worth the visit.

A local friend took me here. It is an internationally acclaimed school for learning mosaic. Students from all over the world come to this small town to learn. The students of the school become experts in the field, and they are commissioned to take part in major international projects.
I did not have a tour, but rather my friend was knowledgeable. If possible, I would recommend getting a tour.
You can peek into the classrooms and learn a bit about what it takes to be a mosaic artist.

Although this is a school, the walls in the building double as a museum. We toured this school one afternoon midweek and were taken back by the varied examples of mosaic expertise. There are at least 100 wall mosaics displaying a variety of classical and modern styles all created by different levels of classes over the years.
There is no admission charge to enter. If you're lucky and a class is on break, you might be able to ask a student if you can peek in a classroom to see student's work, like we did. The class we saw was transforming classic paintings into mosaic form, focusing on close ups of faces. Very impressive!!

Where is the best place to fly into? and best way to get here - train?
Written July 29, 2015
The nearest airport is Trieste, but good options are Venice and Treviso too. Trains are not good, you must opt for bus, taxi or car rental
