Story
500 years of Vistosi Murano glass: an unimaginable span of time for craftsmanship of the highest order. The origins of the Vistosi company can be traced back to the 16th century and the Murano-based glassmaking family of Vincenzo Gazzabin. Although the Gazzabin family was active for centuries, the fall of the Republic of Venice in the 19th century interrupted glassblowing in the region. In 1945, Guglielmo Vistosi, a descendant of the Gazzabins, reopened the family glass business under the name Vistosi. Guglielmo passed away in 1952, and his brother Oreste and his two sons, Gino and Luciano, took over the business.
