In the long Venetian tradition of glassmaking, the island of Murano has certainly a prominent role since it helped to preserve secrets, traditions, techniques of this charming art for centuries.
It's in Murano that the Vetreria Artistica Colleoni glassworks has its headquarters where - along with the production - it started an itinerary of technical and artistic research, at the beginning of the third millennium.
Alesandro Barbaro was the glass master at Colleoni's. His talent, emerging event from the most commercial production, finds its maximum expression in figurative and conceptual creations, such as in peculiar optical effects on vases and aquariums, or in sculptures of animals.
He retired in 2010.
