"Characteristic of Tagliapietra's work is not so much his love of glass [...], but his profound respect for this material from which he always tries to extract the best that is possible; each of his works is a tribute - almost a grateful monument - to glass [...]". This phrase by Giovanni Sarpellon, scholar and collector of the art of Murano glass, well describes the work of Lino Tagliapietra, who in his activity combines the design, inventive and innovative strength of a contemporary designer and artist with the mastery of the centuries-old technique that has made Murano famous throughout the world, typical of a master glass craftsman. His life was dedicated to hard work in the furnace, which saw him as a boy in the Seguso glassworks and later active in the most important Venetian glassworks, including La Murrina, until he moved to the United States, where he teaches and works. His works are housed in the Museo Vetrario in Murano and in major museums in Europe and America.
