During the nineteenth century the surge of tourists to Italy steadily increased and intricate micromosaics, ranging from miniscule gold boxes and paperweights to impressively-scaled 'pictures', proved to be popular souvenirs of the Grand Tour. Two major themes in particular emerged: ancient Roman monuments and the great sixteenth-century Basilica in St. Peter's Square. A number of celebrated mosaicists championed the genre, including Michelangelo Barberi and Caesar Roccheggiani who founded their careers at the Vatican Mosaic Workshop and later established private studios.
