“Lino Tagliapietra, the internationally renowned glassmaker and designer, has had a significant influence on glassmaking worldwide. While often insular and secretive attitudes have marked the Muranese glass industry for centuries, he has always encouraged the free exchange of ideas. Mr. Tagliapietra is able to interpret and translate concepts into hot glass that would be impossible without his extraordinary abilities. He has spent decades absorbing the light and color of the Venetian lagoon, the brilliance of his native Muranese glassmaking, and the arts of other locales. All of these influences are embodied in his personal designs.”
