Vianello and glass design in Murano

On the occasion of the exhibition dedicated to Vinicio Vianello, we host a roundtable organized by Alberto Bassi—curator of the exhibition—to explore the meaning and contemporary relevance of the artist’s research across art, design, and glass production. The event brings together scholars and professionals to reconsider Vianello’s work within the context of Murano glass and twentieth-century Italian design, highlighting its cultural and design legacy. The talk is dedicated to the memory of architect Toni Follina, co-curator of the exhibition, who recently passed away.

Speakers include Marco Sammicheli, Director of Museo del Design Italiano, Triennale Milano Design and craft production at the Museo del Design Italiano
