130.000 BRICKS
Created at the beginning of 2019 on the occasion of the Biennial of Mosaic in Ravenna, the reproduction of the Basilica of San Vitale is an extremely complex project, which lasts three months only for the design and an entire month of intensive construction for the realization.
The Basilica of San Vitale, with its two thousand years of history, is a breathtaking monument that unites within its heritage of inestimable value both from the architectural and artistic point of view, because of the quantity of Byzantine mosaics of which it is covered.
In his reproduction in Lego®, Luca has managed to reproduce wisely the extraordinarily moved structure of the building, starting from the main nucleus with an octagonal base, from which emerge the tiburio and the apse, up to the incredible amount of bows and exedras present in the original.
Equally breathtaking is the incredible precision with which the magnificence of the interior decorations of the Basilica has been reproduced: the frescoes, the polychrome marble and the incredible variety of mosaics for which the building has become famous.
