This interactive workshop in the "Casina dei Mosaici" at Villa Favorita park will turn children into true mosaic artists. After a brief, inspiring visit, each student will create their own small mosaic to take home. An experience that combines history, art, and hands-on skill, perfect for stimulating creativity in a playful way.
What to expect
The Royal Art
This workshop is a creative and fun activity designed for children aged 6 to 12. Starting from the authentic mosaics of the Casina del Parco at Villa Favorita, young participants will have a unique hands-on experience. The goal is to create a small masterpiece to take home, turning learning into a game.
The Visit That Inspires
The workshop begins with a brief guided tour or an animated story. The expert will explain to the children the origin and meaning of mosaics and how they were made. They will also be shown some original motifs and decorations from the villa to ignite their imagination.
The Creative Workshop
After the introduction, each child will transform into an artist. They will receive a rigid base and an assortment of "tesserae" (pieces of paper, dried pasta, or pebbles) to compose their own mosaic. The older ones can replicate a real motif, while the younger ones will be free to invent their own shapes and colors. It's a moment of pure creativity, where each participant brings their own work to life.
The Royal Diploma
At the end of the activity, all the works will be put on display. Each participant will receive a diploma of "Royal Villa Mosaicist" to celebrate their commitment and creativity.
A special memory of a day dedicated to art and history.
Ville Vesuviane
Tourism in the name of Beauty
The territory of the municipalities of Naples, San Giorgio a Cremano, Portici, Herculaneum and Torre del Greco is adorned with 122 monumental buildings, the so-called Vesuvian Villas. The targeted interventions of the “Vesuvian Villas Institution”, now a Foundation, in the past fifty-five years have restored a new dignity to the immense heritage of the Baroque Villas of the 18th century.
In 1738, Charles of Bourbon and his wife, Mariamalia of Saxony, chose Portici as the perfect place to build a new palace and to begin the excavations of the Roman city of Herculaneum. From that moment all the Neapolitan nobles followed the court of the Bourbons and raised some villas for their summer stays in the coastal area at the slopes of the Vesuvius, creating the architectural complex of the 122 “Vesuvian Villas” that is unique in the world for its vastity and its beauty.
The concentration of the “Vesuvian Villas” in the area within the borders of the municipality of Herculaneum intensified so much that it became a sort of particular prestige and it took the name of the Golden Mile. In fact, the Vesuvian Villas that run along that stretch of road can be compared to stunning monuments enriched with vast gardens and pictorial decorations made by great artists. They were designed and built by renowned architects such as Luigi Vanvitelli, Ferdinando Fuga, Domenico Antonio Vaccaro, Ferdinando San Felice.
Some of these monumental buildings, such as “Villa Campolieto”, the Sea Park of “Villa Favorita” and “Villa Ruggiero” in Herculaneum and “Villa delle Ginestre” in Torre del Greco, after a careful and rigorous restoration, are currently under the direct protection and management of the Ente Ville Vesuviane Foundation. They constitute the venues where the institutional activity takes place and countless cultural events and initiatives are carried out.
