AUTHOR
Vittorio ZECCHIN
(Murano, May 21, 1878 - Murano, April 15, 1947) was an Italian artist. Son of a Murano glass technician, Luigi, he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Intolerant of the late 19th-century verismo culture that he encounters here, he feels rather attracted by the stimuli offered by the Venetian Biennials that he attends, coming into contact with symbolist research and with the environment of the Viennese Secession. In 1914 he presented at the XI Biennale, together with the painter Teodoro Wolf Ferrari, some glasses made at the Barovier glassworks. After 1918 he favored the applied arts. From 1921 to 1925 he was artistic director of the company Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Cappellin Venini & C.for which he creates classical pieces in light glass and with delicate colours; Inspired by the 16th century pictorial style of Venetian painters, these vases were the first examples of modern Murano glass work. After the experience with Cappellin Venini, during the 1930s he continued to devote himself to the creation of highly refined glass, collaborating with various glassworks: Ferro-Toso (1930), A.Ve.M. Murano Glass Art (1932-1933), Salir (1932-1938), Barovier Seguso Ferro (1933-1934) and Fratelli Toso (1938). Also during the thirties and in the last decade of his life, he also devoted himself to teaching collaborating with various Venetian professional institutes including the "School for the Glass Industry" of Murano (in 1934) and the school for apprentice glassmakers " Abate Zanetti” (since 1936), making use of didactic activity of two brochures written by himself, one on the history of glass, the other on the mosaic; and also the Vendramin Corner professional school where he deals with tapestries and embroideries.
