Custom Mosaics for an Exclusive Roman Hotel

The bathrooms of the Bulgari Hotel in Rome are dressed in beauty with mosaics created by the company Friul Mosaic Friuli-Venezia Giulia is one of the richest territories in mosaic works: over four hundred have been recorded (not counting the Roman floors and the UNESCO heritage sites of Aquileia). A thousand-year-old tradition, which has also been maintained over time and resulted in the foundation, in 1922, of the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli in Spilimbergo. In this territory rich in artisanal knowledge, in 1987 the master mosaicist William Bertoia founded Friul Mosaic together with two partners, a company specialized in the creation of custom mosaics that includes among its excellent collaborations those with the Caffè Contarena in Udine, the Grand Hotel Duchi d’Aosta in Trieste and the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées in Stresa.

These and other important collaborations of Friul Mosaic are now joined by the commission for the exclusive Bulgari Hotel in Rome, the ninth hotel in the Bulgari Hotels & Resorts collection and the second in Italy.

A celebration of the beauties of the eternal city
The Bulgari Hotel is located in Piazza Augusto Imperatore, a few steps from Via del Corso, Piazza di Spagna and the famous Bulgari store on Via Condotti, and celebrates the most appreciated qualities of the eternal city with the design and art of our country.

It is housed in an imposing building from the 1940s renovated by the ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel studio. Today, in its 14,000 square meters, the hotel hosts 114 rooms and suites, which recall the Roman and Mediterranean roots of the Bulgari fashion house and stand out for their attention to detail capable of providing guests with a unique experience of luxury and well-being.

The excellence of Friul Mosaic at work
The bathrooms of the suites have been decorated with marbles in four color palettes, enriched with mosaic rosettes.
The creation of the custom mosaics was carried out by Friul Mosaic, whose artisans, trained at the Mosaic School of Spilimbergo, worked with rigor and sartorial precision, applying the indirect technique of reversing on paper to create exclusive designs. Each tile of the custom mosaics was created by breaking the various stones one by one, following the artisanal tradition that distinguishes their work.

The result is that the bathrooms of the Hotel Bulgari host true works of mosaic art, an expression of an excellence that has been able to gather an artisanal legacy and transposed it into a modern context without affecting its splendor.

Tradition and innovation for custom mosaics requested all over the world
Friul Mosaic, born “on the banks” of the Tagliamento, is today an international point of reference for the creation of traditional and custom design mosaics. It operates in the residential, hospitality, retail and wellness sectors, with a team of architects who assist the customer in the design phase and a team of mosaicists able to create unique and customized works entirely by hand, using traditional tools such as the hammer.
Craftsmanship and passion for detail are the characteristics of this prestigious Friulian company, which today boasts a laboratory of over 2000 square meters in its headquarters and can count on 30 professionals who will be able to inspire and advise architects, interior designers or the individual client to develop their own project.
