Botticino Marble Tile "Convivio"

This “Convivio” tile is a reproduction in Botticino marble of the fresco from the Tomb of the Diver, dating to 480–470 BC and now held in the Archaeological Museum of Paestum.

This high-quality marble tile is inspired by banquet scenes, a central theme in Greek and Roman cultures, symbolizing conviviality, celebration and family unity.

Historical Curiosities

Among the Greeks and Romans, the symposium was a convivial gathering (hence the name “Convivio”) following the banquet. Guests drank according to the instructions of the symposiarch, sang convivial songs (skólia) and enjoyed entertainment such as reciting poems, dancing and conversation.

One of the mysteries of the diver lies in the fact that the Greeks did not decorate their tombs except with simple geometric motifs, unlike the Etruscans.
