Carlo Moretti was born in Murano in 1934. Currently he lives in Venice with his wife Bruna Matteotti in an apartment overlooking the rooftops and canals adjacent to the Rialto Bridge. Carlo Moretti and his bother Giovanni Moretti’s glass-factory is situated on the island of Murano in the heart of the Venetian lagoon. Their original and unmistakable production bears witness to the meeting of the centuries old glass making tradition and a planned line of thought that is one of the most authentic in the field of contemporary Italian design. Their pieces, designed by Carlo Moretti, are produced in limited numbers. They are made from Murano crystal, are mouth blown and finished and signed by hand. Carlo Moretti has been awarded with numerous prizes and international rewards and has been invited to hold conferences on his work in cultural and art institutions worldwide.
