Read our in-depth article, Scagliola: an ancient Italian art.
“In Val d’Intelvi, located between the Lario and Ceresio, in the Como area, there are numerous examples of altar frontals, made with the scagliola technique by Intelvi masters. Numerous workshops of scagliolisti from Intelvesi-Ticino (Solari, Leoni, Rapa, Pancaldi, Molciani, Retti etc.) developed the invention of scagliola and produced tables, cabinets and, above all, created decorated altars and frontals”.
