Biography

Founded in 1854 by six Toso brothers, the Fratelli Toso glassworks is one of the oldest in Murano. Specialising in blown art glass, it revived the ancient murrine technique after 1880. Ermanno Toso led its artistic direction from the 1940s to the 1960s, followed by his sons Renato and Giusto. The firm's archive and historical collections are preserved today.
