At Museo Civico Pier Alessandro Garda of Ivrea.

The exhibition aims to deepen the knowledge of glass, a fascinating material little represented in museum collections, through the juxtaposition of archaeological finds with works of art from various contexts, near or very far in space and time.

Luca Gnizio participates in this new project with FORSOUL - The first ever crystal incorporating fabric (recycling of carbon fibre), now on permanent display in the prestigious Murano Glass Museum.

Luca Gnizio, presented with the innovation of his ecological patent, as the only contemporary Italian in the section: glass from the second half of the nineteenth century to today.

Vitrum was born from the collaboration with the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the metropolitan city of Turin, and was realised with the contribution of Fondazione Guelpa, Fondazione CRT and Piemonte Region. It is also patronized by Association Internationale pour l’Histoire du Verre – Comitato Nazionale Italiano.
