Arts of Venice

1 / 9

I’m Andrea and I run our family business together with my cousin Giacomo, on the beautiful island of Murano in Venice. We focus on art glass, lighting, and interior design. Our family also owns four galleries in Venice city center: my father has been working with the greatest brands, glass masters, and artists of Murano island since the 1970s and my maternal grandfather was the “temperista” (in charge of “tempera”: it consists in inserting the glass just worked by the Master inside special temperature-controlled ovens, where they remain for the whole night starting from a temperature of 600 ° C to arrive at room temperature; the following morning this process is essential so that all the various pieces made do not burst or crack) for several furnaces including the famous Carlo Moretti from the late 1950s till the early 1970s. Last but not least, my great-uncle was an important glass Master at Venini before moving to Germany to create and develop artistic glass collections for Rosenthal.
