Carlo Scarpa
Carlo Scarpa (1906 - 1978).
One of the greatest designers and architects of the 20th century. Scarpa was born in Venice and spent much of his early childhood in Vicenza before his family returned to Venice following the death of his mother in 1919. Scarpa studied architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.
From 1932 to 1947 he was art director of the Venini glass factory, Murano. Largely thanks to him, the ideas of modernism were embodied in glass, and the Venini manufactory played a crucial role in this.
