Mauro Patrini(Pizzighettone, 1965)
He updated his training, acquiring knowledge and skills in various sectors from fresco to marmorino, from casts to stucco and seminato. He then specialized in the scagliola/marble stucco technique.
He collaborated with a research group in Brussels for the experimentation of materials for green building and sustainable decoration.
He became a teacher of scagliola/marble stucco firmly convinced that this technique must be passed down in order to guarantee the training of capable craftsmen, able to preserve the artistic and artisanal heritage both nationally and internationally.
He also made artisanal techniques a means of expression, revisiting them in a contemporary key, experimenting with different shapes and materials that aim to arouse tactile and visual sensations in the observer, to let thoughts, ideas, emotions flow through an invisible thread that unites past, present and future.
His works are part of important collections.
As a craftsman, he has been entrusted with important commissions both in Italy and abroad, such as the resurfacing of the flooring of the Coffee House of the Quirinale Palace and the restoration of the Lancellotti House coat of arms in Piazza Navona in Rome for the auction house Christie’s, the creation of imposing decorations in a private villa in West Palm Beach commissioned by the New York architect Peter Marino, the completion of the scagliola in Queen Anne’s summer apartments in the Louvre Museum in Paris and the restoration of the marble stucco decorations of Palais Clam-Gallas in Vienna.
