CARLO SCARPA
(1906 - 1978)

scarpa created his first pieces very early when he was still a boy, working for cappellin during the twenties.
later, at the beginning of the thirties he moved to venini's.
scarpa sculpted with glass, he used it as a condensation of impressions
and colors,
a challenge to the senses, the product of alchemy and a certain theatricality.
with venini, scarpa applied himself to developing a vast range of techniques:
'filigrana', 'opalini ', 'lattimi ', 'murrine',
'sommersi ' ... his inventions quickly became the hallmark of venini's entire uotput during the thirties and fourties.
