He learned glassmaking in his family's furnace and studied at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts.
In 1956, he and his father established their independent studio on Murano, which became one of the island's most prestigious glassworks.
Leadership: He led the furnace and created his signature naturalistic sculptures until 1989, when he passed leadership to his son, Oscar.
