OPAL PROCESSING TECHNIQUE
Lattimo is an opaque white glass, invented in Murano around the mid-15th century with the aim of imitating the first porcelains that were very fashionable in Europe.
It is obtained by overlapping "jacketing" the milk glass with one glass or several thin transparent and colored glasses,
obtaining splendid objects with intense and bright colours. They are included to embellish soft colored glass
gold and silver leaves on the entire surface obtaining splendid “Aurati” objects.
Fulvio Bianconi:
Having settled in Milan, he collaborates as a graphic designer and illustrator with the publishing houses Mondadori, Bombiani, Garzanti and frescoes the Galtrucco shops and the pavilions of the Trade Fair. In 1946 he repeatedly went to Murano to find out more about glass art.
Here he meets Paolo Venini who, sensing the creative spirit of the young Bianconi, invites him to collaborate in his glass factory.
From the collaboration with Venini were born the Figures of the Commedia dell'Arte, the Tiepolos, the Fazzoletto , the Sirens, the Pezzati and many others.
New glassmaking techniques and reworkings of ancient ones have been the subject of Fulvio Bianconi's creative research.
By shaping movement and color in his glass, Bianconi thus establishes a link with the history of Murano of great modernity.
