Mosaicamente. Omaggio a Edward Hopper

Casa della Confraternita (Castle of Udine)

Free Entry

Until Sunday 15 June 2025

Opening hours: Fridays 3 p.m. - 6 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Until Sunday 15 June 2025 the Casa della Confraternita will host the 18th edition of the exhibition Mosaicamente organised by the Fondazione Bambini e Autisimo ONLUS with the patronage of the Municipality of Udine and in collaboration with the Civici Musei di Udine.


The exhibition presents a selection of mosaic works inspired by the pictorial masterpieces of the American master Edward Hopper (1882-1967) and American Realism.

Adults with autism, thanks to a collective work carried out at the Officina dell'Arte (Pordenone), present their original interpretations of some of the American artist's paintings. The mosaic technique, in fact, allows a high degree of innovation and reinterpretation of the chromatic and luministic values of the works of American Realism. The users collaborated in all the phases of the project: conception, production, setting up and communication, with a special focus on sustainability through the good practice of recycling, an ecological choice that is becoming the stylistic feature of the works produced at the Pordenone-based Officina.

The project also includes the creation of some tactile works in collaboration with and with the advice of the Pordenone section of the Unione Italiana dei Ciechi e degli Ipovedenti Onlus APS. This collaboration allows for an in-depth reflection on the sensorial aspects of the works on display.

Through detailed archival research, the curators of the Civic Museums of Udine have reconstructed the provenance of the funeral carriage which has belonged to the Municipality of Udine since 1931 and is preserved in the storage of the Ethnographic Museum of Friuli.

Most likely it is the same carriage that, on 2 July 1914, transported the body of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Habsburg during the historic homage that the city of Trieste paid to the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne in the turmoil that paved the way to the outbreak of the First World War after the Archduke's assassination in Sarajevo.

The management of the Civic Museums of Udine hopes that the carriage can soon be restored with the contribution of some patrons.
