The activity takes place in Massimiliano's atelier in the artistic district of Cannaregio: a non-touristy area, full of art shops and hidden gems known only to the locals.
Massimiliano has been working in this sector for 30 years and has participated in numerous international exhibitions around the world, as well as delivering his wonderful works to art collectors in Europe and America.
Thanks to his great experience, he is able to provide an overview of glass art and its different techniques that have changed over the last few centuries.
