Vistosi
Vistosi was created by Guglielmo Vistosi in Murano in 1945, focusing on lighting. After his premature death, his sons Gino and Luciano joined their uncle Oreste in founding the Vistosi company.
\r
In 1956, Alessandro Pianon, a Venetian architect, joined the company and, along with second-generation Luciano and Gino Vistosi, they gave the company a swing focused on innovation and design.
\r
The company has employed very relevant designers such as Angelo Mangiarotti, Gae Aulenti, Peter Pelzel, Ettore Sottsass Jr. , Adalberto Dal Lago, Vico Magistretti, Enrico Tronconi, etc.
\r
In 1989, Giancarlo Moretti, a Murano businessman with extensive experience in the glass sector at Vetrofond and Punto Luce, acquired the prestigious brand, giving birth to Vetreria Vistosi.
\r
The only survivor of the founders, Luciano, born February 24, 1930, devoted himself to research and glass sculpture until his death (in Venice) on May 14, 2010.
This is what this chandelier looks like without turning on the bulbs.
