Keeping Handcrafts Traditions Alive | The Fabbrica di San Pietro's School of Arts and Crafts

In this video, we explore the School of Arts and Crafts at the Fabbrica di San Pietro, the department responsible for maintaining and restoring St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. For the third year, the school offers a free, six-month training course to pass on traditional craftsmanship skills to the next generation.

In this video, we cover:

The School of Arts and Crafts: Learn about the restoration traditions from the 1700s that keep St. Peter’s Basilica alive today.

Stone and Marble Craftsmanship: Watch students like Cristina Squatriti and Francesco Bonello master marble cutting, carving, and intricate inlay techniques.

Mosaic Art: Explore the delicate art of mosaic-making, a skill passed down through generations, and practiced by students at the school.

Father Francesco Occhetta: Hear from the director of the school about how the training program combines spiritual, community, and hands-on learning.

A Global Legacy: Understand how the skills taught at the Fabbrica di San Pietro can benefit churches and basilicas worldwide.

The school is not only reviving the craftsmanship traditions of the past, but also preparing young artisans for careers in the preservation of the world’s greatest monuments.
