Early in the 20th century the Venetian island of Murano reestablished its dominance in the world of art glass by mixing traditional craft with the innovative design of modern artists and sculptors. Anzolo Fuga, a multi-faceted talent born into a glass making dynasty, played a prominent role in this Venetian glass renaissance. "Anzolo Fuga: Murano Glass Artist" features never seen before spectacular glass objects created by the designer for A.V.E.M. - Arte Vetrario Muranese (Murano Art Glass House)from 1955 to 1968.

The glass making world of Murano is currently experiencing an ongoing review between the old and the new, between loyalty of traditional values and an eagerness to innovate. The interest of this debate is that it is among the classic glassmakers, who work in an atmosphere similar to that of a medieval workshop, and contemporary artists who live entirely in a modern day society. The collaboration of the two has contributed to making Murano an extraordinary place that is well worth visiting, investigating and photographing.
