Italian glass designer Fulvio Bianconi was born in 1915 in Padua. He began his career as an apprentice in the Murano glass furnaces under the direction of Michael Pinto and worked with a variety of Milan’s publishers—including Mondadori, Bompiani, and Garzanti—as an illustrator and graphic designer. Bianconi met Paolo Venini in 1946, an encounter that led to his extensive collaboration over several years with Venini’s Murano-based glass house, a pioneer of 20th-century glass production. With Venini, Bianconi created strikingly colored, simply shaped, often organically inspired objets d’art, vases, as well as lighting, such as the alluringly biomorphic Fazzoletto series (1948) and the multicolored Pezzati vases (1950), which call to mind abstract paintings. Bianoconi’s midcentury work is included in numerous prestigious collections, including Indianapolis Museum of Art; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; the Museum of New Zealand, Wellington; the Stedilijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; and, in New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art; Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum; and Corning Museum of Glass. Bianconi passed away in 1996.

One of the most famous post-war Italian graphic designers, Fulvio Bianconi began his career learning the art of decorating glass at the workshops of Murano under the directorship of Michael Pinto, where he returned later in life to begin his fruitful product design career and establish Murano as the place for production of artistic glass around the globe. Before his innovations, glass had been used for utilitarian purposes. Bianconi pushed the limits of glassmaking in the traditional sense and material of glass itself by transforming it in both theory and practice. His works—lamps, vases, and sculptural objects—were developed coming out of his illustrious graphic design positions at some of the most prestigious publishing houses in Italy, who allowed him to create work for the sake of exploration.

The Venini Glass success story began in Murano, Venice in 1921, with the unlikely partnership of Giacomo Cappellin (1887 - 1968) an antiques dealer from Venice and Paolo Venini (1895 - 1959) a lawyer from Milan. They founded the glassworks MVM Cappellin & C. and brought fresh life to glass manufacturing in Murano. There was a third partner, - Andrea Rioda, a Murano glassworks owner, but he died before the new company opened. Vittorio Zecchin (1878 - 1947, painter) was employed as Art Director. The glassworks produced simple designs in thinly blown glass (vetri soffiati), modeled upon 'old' designs. These designs contrasted with the over-elaborate output from other Murano glassworks at that time, and with increasing success, Murano glass became fashionable once more. In 1925, Cappellin and Venini dissolved their partnership, and Cappellin - still with Zecchin as Art Director, continued the work of Cappellin & C. producing very high quality glass. The piece below, named "vaso lattimo aurato", was designed by Carlo Scarpa for Cappellin in 1929. Paolo Venini founded his own company, - Venini & C., which he managed personally until his death in 1959. Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892 - 1997, sculptor) was Venini's new partner and Art Director. In the beginning, however, they continued making many items that had been designed by Vittorio Zecchin. You can find several designs, including the Veronese, the Bordone, the Caravaggio, and several others made by both Cappellin and Venini in those early years. From 1925 to 1928 Venini's new company was developing its own new "identity". Today the name Venini is internationally recognized, and the high standards applied by Paulo Venini have paid off. In addition to directing the company, Paulo Venini designed his own shapes and patterns. From the 1930s into the 1950s, his design output increased in frequency. He took personal responsibility for quality control of the glassworks, and no design went into production without his approval.

In the late 1920s Paolo Venini's brother Franco joined the company as Chemistry Researcher. He created unique colors for Venini which competitors were unable to match. Around 1928 Martinuzzi began to develop his own designs. The pieces he created for Venini are still considered masterpieces, especially his vetro pulegoso (bubble glass rendered opaque by millions of bubbles), pasta vitrea (glass paste) and incamiciato (double layered colored glass). The plants and animals that he produced by these techniques are fantastic. The vase below is "vaso costolatura verde" from 1927. In 1932 Martinuzzi decided to found his own glassworks, together with Vittorio Zecchin. Thanks to Martinuzzi, the Venini Company had by this time established its identity as a company producing the highest quality elegant glass. During the 1930s the great artists who designed glass for Venini were Carlo Scarpa, Tommaso Buzzi, Paolo Venini himself, and Tyra Lundgren. It is sometimes difficult to attribute the 1930s work by Buzzi, Scarpa and Venini to the respective designers, because they worked closely together and many of the records were lost in a fire in 1972. Tommaso Buzzi (1900 - 1981, architect) and Carlo Scarpa (1906 - 1978, architect) took over the Art Directorship of Venini & C. from Martinuzzi in 1932, but only one year later Buzzi ceased working for Venini. To attribute Buzzi's designs is difficult; they are few and now quite rare. He is known to have designed the Laguna and Alga series (incamiciato glass of 4 layers with gold foil) and some very unusual animals of pasta vitrea and filigrana glass. Shown below left, is "vaso alba" designed by Tommaso Buzzi in 1933. On the right is "vaso incamiciato" designed in 1933/4 by either Buzzi or Carlo Scarpa. Carlo Scarpa worked with Venini through ten years of fruitful collaboration. He designed many true Venini classics: wonderful patterns and shapes of highly sophisticated elegance. He was one of the very best Venini designers.

Specializzato nell'arte del vetro, Toni Zuccheri (1936-2008) è noto per le collaborazioni con #Venini e #Barovier&Toso.
Famosi, soprattutto, i suoi vasi policromi, interpreti di uno stile minuzioso frutto di tecniche preziose, come le murrine abbinate a uno stile ironico e forme dinamiche.
