Master Rosmundo, after being inspired by the music, philosophy and architecture, decides to approach archaeology, in fact the mosaic floor of the 4 th century B.C. which it is based in the ancient Greek city of “Volcei” (Buccino- Italy), becomes inspiration for this new masterpiece: “The passion of man”. This unique and magnificent creation evokes the story of the Greek god of the symphony: Dionysus
The front of the creation represents, through the exclusive technique of the figurative honeycomb, the mosaic of the banquet hall dedicated to Dionysus. The four beautiful diamond dolphins symbolize, according to a legend, the rescue of the Greek god as he was thrown into the sea by pirates. The centre ruby, represents the wine, the main element of the Dionysian Symposium. The Symposium is the place of social relations, it is the supreme occasion when the Greek men,excited by wine, expresses his feelings, his political passions, raise their hymn to the joys of life. The Kylix- the cup where the ancient Greeks used to drink wine- supports the representation of the ancient mosaic and the symbols of the sacred banquet for Dionysus. The grape, which is the mother of the wine, along with the lyre, the musical notes and the ivy are all hand-made on the Kylix because they are the symbols of the Dithiyamb- the passionate hymn in honour to Dionysus.
