ABOUT

Venetian glass artist Fabio Rossetto works alongside his father at the Murano glassworks they founded together in 1979. Having initially focused on the production of traditional Venetian chandeliers, Rossetto has since developed an independent artistic practice, creating sculptural works, vases, and bowls that explore form, colour, and surface pattern.

He specialises in two of the oldest and most technically demanding glassmaking techniques. Filigrana involves the superimposition, twisting, and fusion of fine glass rods, which are wrapped around a glass cylinder and then blown into shape. Murrini is achieved by combining coloured glass canes into a multicoloured rod, which is sliced into small discs and fused to produce intricate mosaic-like effects.

Murano Glass

The history of Murano glass is a tale of artistic ingenuity and innovation, rooted in the small Venetian island of Murano, Italy. Dating back to the late 13th century, the glassmaking industry in Murano evolved as a strategic move to protect the city of Venice from the risk of fires caused by glass furnaces. Murano's glass artisans were required to relocate to the island, where they refined their craft in isolation.

Over the centuries, Murano glassmakers became masters of their trade, pioneering techniques such as crystalline glass, enameling, and millefiori. The Renaissance period witnessed Murano glass achieving unprecedented levels of sophistication, with intricate designs and vibrant colors becoming hallmarks of the art form. Murano's glass industry continued to flourish through the Baroque and Rococo eras, and its reputation for producing exquisite chandeliers, mirrors, and decorative glassware spread across Europe.

Despite economic challenges and competition, Murano glass has endured, remaining a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and artistic excellence. Today, Murano glass continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, honoring a legacy that spans over seven centuries.
