Love glass. My mom was from Europe she had no money but when she could she bought a few beautiful pieces. Protected them from us kids and many pets. Few years before she took ill the cat broke her favorite piece. She was destroyed inside as if it was part of her. I learned later she had great taste and a good eye.

i wish we had seen more!

This is such a sympathetic and humorous portrayal of the collectors artistic urge. And, of course, the taste of the collector is so eclectic and sensual, and undeniably valuable that it makes an ordinary obsessive collector upgraded to look like a member of a unique society. Thank you.

Fell in love with this art glass collecting couple. The photograph portrait of him in the white suit with a glass like colored tie was simply marvelous. The photo at the end showing the couple late in life walking hand in hand from behind caused a very happy emotion. The art glass collection is superlative.

Entire production a feast for the eyes !!!!!!

The beauty and artistry of the glass is inspiring and a treat to view a private collection of such depth. I felt secondhand embarrassment for the presenter as she often interrupted the person she was interviewing. She needs to learn to actively listen. One can communicate a great deal with a nod, smile or simple, "Yes, I see"; then wait until your subject is done answering/explaining to ask something else or make a short statement.

Agree.

Such beauty! Thank you! ❤️🇱🇨

I collect glass and pottery from a variety of times and countries. When I hold a piece for the first time, I often have an aesthetic high, of transport beyond the mundane. That is what this collector felt too I am sure.

Stunning! What a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing your collection.

Well created. Great video.

It is not often that 2 people that are married have the same passion for collecting. My heart breaks for Chiari but the love she shared with Francesco is evident in their glass. It shows a depth of commitment and love, not only to the glass but to themselves.

awesome documentary

So many incredibly talented venetian glass artists in the 20th century and they get hung up on one of the Scarpa's. Interesting.

Amazing love

Scarpa Vases and Primavera ‘s first and last piece collected are marvellous. Arquitecture or designer and maestro collaboration is extraordinary. Giving the pieces a look as if the pieces were painted, which is very rare to get. So are the paintings from Morandi and antonio Longi.

15 minutes in and finally a view of some of the glass!!! More glass viewing and less sucking up PLEASE.

Super Philippe Daverio may he rest in peace

The term 'still life' and its equivalents in Germanic languages has a serenity and poetry about it, whereas 'natura morta'','nature morte', 'natureza morta' I have always found slightly sinister. An interesting film dedicated to a wonderful art form: thank you very much. Like many, I acquired small pieces of Murano glass when visiting Venice.

Who was the polychrome colors vase, hezani? Where few examples remain, super striking but couldn't work out the name

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

As a little kid, It annoyed me indescribably that our loft was full of Murano glass. Then it began to descend from the loft all over the house, when one great-grandmother died, and after that, naturally, another followed her. It bothered me that my friends lived in a "modern environment", and I lived in a completely different world, like on a theater set or in a museum. The only exception was the bathrooms and our rooms. Of course I didn't know how to appreciate the values of Murano glass and old Venetian artifacts, chandeliers and cutlery. Of course I find it all funny now.

Carlo Scarpa never attended an architecture school/university. He was self-taught

I still like French glass.

There are, and never have been, any paintings by Raphael in Venice.

Yes, was bemused by that...

I was expecting a little more on the Venetian glass and the history of the colors, and what makes them so unique, and less on the artist and the collectors.

The coolest pieces were ones in the backgrounds. Yeah if only it showed all the pieces more in depth, it would be a lot better of a video.

Isn't it great to be rich, right?

You may be right, but can you imagine what a work the dusting of all this glass means?

Hallmark is she the one responsible for the never ending sappy childish movies on the Hallmark channel?
