t was a great honour for the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts to take part in the selection of the winner of the Felice Casorati prize. The project as such is very interesting also from the site-specific perspective it offers. The idea to transform one work chosen among the works by the visiting art academy into a mosaic is extremely unique and innovative and works well together with the surroundings offered by the Pavarolo village. It is very honourable to keep up the tradition originating from the heritage and impact to the society and also to the art history by one single artist, Felice Casorati. I truly hope that the works by the Finnish art students from the Finnish academy tradition create an interesting dialogue with the Italian works created from the Italian academy tradition.
