Sabelli, has so far created over 10 mosaics, both outside and inside the building, which took over 400 hours of work. Everything is built exclusively with recycled materials. "I realized that the mosaics it is now my second activity after that of director and actor - Sabelli told ANSA - The ultimate goal is to mosaic the entire facade of the theater and create a small Parc Guell in Ferrazzano ".
The mosaics are the result of whole days spent working. Now at the entrance to the small theater there is a mosaic of about 6 square meters. The actor and director recounts "I started it last year and finished it on September 5. It's a big puzzle made up of a few thousand irregular tiles obtained from the resulting majolica. It was a nice puzzle to complete it and there are took many days of work "Looking to the future, the cooperative" Teatri Molisani ", which in 2019 became the owner of the small theater, used the period of stop for the pandemic to completely renovate the exterior of the building, making it a de facto artwork.
