Amedeo Rossetto
He was born in Murano in 1951 into a large family of glass blowers.
His father was a master in creating pearls (murrine) as were his uncles.
Amedeo learns many precious secrets from his family. He studied at the Carmini, Art Institute of Venice, and then began working on the island of Murano.
The artistic atmosphere of the furnaces pushes him to increasingly personalize the technique he has acquired, to the point of merging his love more and more into the glass works he creates.
In 1964 he was presented with the opportunity to work in the Barovier and Toso furnace. After 6 years he moved to the Cenedese furnace where he learned new techniques from master Busato. In 1975 he qualified as a Maestro.
He specialized in the processing of filigree and Zanfirico following the ancient Venetian tradition since 1700. Since 1990 the master Amedeo Rossetto has been working at the Eugenio Ferro & C. 1929 furnace, producing artistic works in the special technique called "Murrina".
To form a simple murrina with overlapping concentric layers, the furnace must have crucibles with soft glass of different colors.
A worker then takes a small quantity of glass from the first crucible at the tip of an iron rod, immediately covering it with another glass taken from a second crucible.
You can proceed like this by superimposing multiple layers of different colors.
All these layers of glass will form a cylinder weighing five or six kilograms.
Once it has been made regular by rolling it over a thick iron or bronze plate (bronzìn) , a second iron rod is applied to the free part.
Everything then passes into the hands of two other workers, the "cane pullers", who will stretch the dough to bring it to the programmed diameter.
In this case you will obtain a murrina with concentric circle designs.
However, if in some stages of processing the soft glass paste is inserted into a mold with vertical ribs in the shape of a flower, star or heart, a murrina with a floral, star or heart design will be obtained.
The rods thus obtained (or rather the canes, to use the Muranese term) are used to produce "mosaic" (or "millefiori") pearls, plates and bowls and finally pendants.
To make pearls it is necessary to cover the light layer of molten glass wrapped around the iron rod (core) with many slices of these rods and compact them with simple tools, simultaneously giving the desired shape.
The great talent of the master Amedeo Rossetto makes him the creator of unique contemporary artistic objects.
