Description

The exhibition Sassi in Miniatura is located inside a cave house which is used as exhibition space. It was started by Eustachio Rizzi in May 1996, and he worked constantly for three long years until he had created a model of the Sassi. Many of his miniatures were duplicated in ceramics and are sold in the integrated shop.
