Since its beginning in 1888, Orsoni is linked with very important creations, such as the mosaics used at the beginning of the XX century in the renovation of the San Marco Basilica in Venice, where it supplied more than 10,000 kgs of enamels and 1,000 ancient gold plates. Antoni Gaudí, after seeing the company’s “Colour Library” at the Universal Exhibition in Paris back in 1889, decided to use the mosaics in the construction of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain.
