GaspareCusenza founded CusenzaMarmi, an artisan company for the artistic working of marble, 50 years ago. In 2016 he was among only 75 Italian artisans to be included in the Golden Book of Italian Artisan Excellence, receiving the prestigious title of master of art in the presence of Head of State Sergio Mattarella.
in 2019, during the 100 Destinations of Italy awards ceremony at Palazzo Madama, seat of the Senate, receives the title of virtuous ambassador of the territory.
Over the years he specialized in making so-called "copies of antiquity," that is, works executed in the style of the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s.
From this interest comes the research and rediscovery of ancient techniques and materials that have fallen into disuse: he rediscovers jasper and the ancient yellow of Sicily, the "embodied" stone; he revisits and reworks the Sicilian Baroque especially in the use of polychrome inlay inside churches.
In the following years he hired young apprentices to pass on techniques and secrets of marble working, convinced that the difference lies precisely in the human value able to exploit new technologies to perfect his craftsmanship, with current taste, while maintaining the centrality of the human hand.
