Born in Parma in 1964, he has always been passionate about music, video art and archeology and discovers the mosaic towards the end of the 80s. From that moment he decided that it would be his own path and enrolled in the three-year course of the Mosaic School of Friuli in Spilimbergo, obtaining the title of Master Mosaicist in 1995.

After a brief experience at the Mayersche Hofkunstanstalt in Munich in the autumn of 95 he moved to Berlin where, together with Svenja Teichert, he founded the “Cosmomusivo Mosaik”.

From 95 to 2021, Cosmomus Mosaik will carry out mosaic restoration and numerous mosaic interventions, in addition, various courses will be held both at its headquarters and at schools and associations.

Among the major works carried out are the 240 m² floors for the Neues Museum in Berlin (2009-10), the 160 m² floors, for the Berlin-based Wintergarten Theater-Varieté (2016), the collaboration with the Siematic kitchen company, with the realization of over 900 m² of countertop surfaces (2004-10), the dome of the women’s Hamam in the Schokoladen Fabrik in Berlin (2002), the logo of the Giesinger Bräu brewery in Munich (2014).

Among the most important restorations: the Berlin floors of the Ballsaal of the Hotel de Rome (2020) and of the Elisabethkirche (2019-20), the floor of the Reitzenstein villa in Stuttgart (2015), the floor of the Gnadenkapelle of Kevelaer (2012), the floor of the Weigang villa in Bautzen (2016) and the wall mosaics of the St. Lukas in Berlin (2007-2014).

Among the courses held at schools, we highlight those at Max Planck Gymnasium (2013), Ernst Abbe Gymnasium (2014) and Albert Einstein Gymnasium (2014).

Driven by the desire to return to Italy, to his homeland, Giuseppe Fornasari moved to Parma in 2021 and opened the individual company „Fornasari mosaici“, based in the charming Borgo… in the historic center of the city. Convinced of wanting to establish a meaningful interaction and exchange with the territory, Giuseppe Fornasari on his return immediately began, as a teacher, an intense collaboration with schools where he found a lot of favorable feedback and participation in his own mosaic courses. Fornasari mosaici works for private users creating various works including the floor siren for the villa Margini in Reggio Emilia, and maintains the link with Berlin by creating a large mosaic for Tangoloft, the most renowned Berlin tango school.
