Vetro Artistico is a term used to refer to the Artistic Glass Consortium in Murano, Italy, which is a group of independent glass manufacturers who work together to promote and preserve the tradition of Murano glassmaking. The consortium was formed in 1985 and is recognized by the Italian government as a certified organization for the production and promotion of Murano glass. Vetro Artistico is dedicated to maintaining the high standards of Murano glassmaking, which has a long and storied history dating back to the 13th century. Murano glass is renowned for its exquisite beauty and quality, and the techniques used to create it have been passed down from generation to generation. The members of the Artistic Glass Consortium produce a wide range of glass products, including vases, bowls, sculptures, and other decorative items. They use a variety of techniques, such as blowing, molding, and engraving, to create unique and beautiful pieces. The consortium also works to educate people about the art of Murano glassmaking and to promote its continued use in modern design. They hold exhibitions and events throughout the year to showcase the work of their members and to raise awareness about the importance of preserving this ancient tradition.
