FULVIO BIANCONI

Having settled in Milan, he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator with the publishing houses Mondadori, Bombiani, Garzanti and frescoed the Galtrucco stores and the pavilions of the Fiera Campionaria. In 1946 he went repeatedly to Murano to better read up on the art of glassmaking. Here he meets Paolo Venini who, realizing the creative spirit of the young Bianconi, invites him to collaborate in his glassworks. From this collaboration the Figures of the Commedia dell'Arte, the Tiepolo, the Fazzoletto, the Sirene, the Pezzati and many others were born.
New techniques of glassmaking and reworking of old ones have been the subject of Fulvio Bianconi's creative research.
Shaping movement and color in his glasses, Bianconi thus determines a link with the Murano history of great modernity.

PAOLO VENINI

In 1921 Paolo Venini, a Milanese lawyer with a distant family tradition in glass processing, founded Venini together with Giacomo Cappellin, antiquarian.
In fact, he always worked alongside his designers and architects, with the constant aim of anticipating and orienting taste, controlling every model coming out of his furnaces.
His confident aesthetic choices, combined with the great quality of the products, gave his glassworks considerable success with critics and the public. He himself devoted himself to design since the early 1930s: the Diamante glasses from 1936 and, in collaboration with Carlo Scarpa, the Roman murrine.
Venini took part in all the Milan Triennials, the Venice Biennials and held exhibitions of his own in all the countries of Europe and the United States.
