A.Ve.M.

 

A.Ve.M. - Arte Vetreria Muranese - was founded in 1932 by Galliano Ferro, Emilio Nason, Antonio Luigi Ferro, and his sons Egidio and Ottone. During the ‘30s, working with Vittorio Zecchin, the company produced many pieces with reticello glass, light blown-glass, and sculptures in the style of the 90s. In 1939 Giulio Radi became the artistic director and began experimenting with metal oxides, working also with Aldo Nason, who between the 40s and the 60s created particular sculptures of aubergine-clowns, carnival masks, and funny animals. After Radi’s premature death in 1952, Giorgio Ferro took the place of artistic director up to 1955. During the ‘50s A.VE.M collaborated with many artists such as the painter Luigi Scarpa Croce, the designers Dino Martens and Anzolo Fuga, and later also with Luciano Ferro, who created sculptures of animals, and carnival characters, such as Arlecchino and Pantalone. The company is still active today.
