... the mosaic sundial done by italian diallist Valentino. > It is the first opera of a real mosaic sundial made without industrial > contribute of glass tiles. -------------------- Mario Arnaldi wrote: I don't know if it is the first one (I can't say it), but yes it has been made without contribute of industrial of glass tiles. The author didn't use the classical tecnique (a mix from modern and classic) he didn't use glass at all, nor marble or stone. He used gres tiles cutted with diamond disks. and then glued on a plen of "eternit". The classical tecnique is quite different. Mario **********************   Dear Mario,   yes, the author of this mosaic sundial (Valentino Falcone from Morschwiller le Bas, Alsazia) have not used the "classical tecnique", and not the only Roman or Hellenic style, because him like to use the miscellaneous style. At our knowledgment, this sundial is the first one made with this mosaic tecnique. The informations about his work are very difficulty to write in english for me, but the author will be very glad to trade messages with all people are interested in his opera. Best wishes Nicola
