La Collezione di Vetri Veneziani - Carla Nasci - Ferruccio Franzoia
The Venetian Glass Collection of the late Carla Nasci and the architect Ferruccio Franzoia, has been generously donated to the permanent collection of the - Carlo Rizzarda - Modern Art Museum in Feltre. The Nasci-Franzoia Collection represents a coherent enrichment to the museum of Decorative Arts established by the famous master of wrought iron, Carlo Rizzarda and expands in perfect harmony with his work, were iron often meets the transparencies of Murano glass elements.
To exhibit the glass artifacts, purchased with his late wife Carla Nasci in over 30 years of collecting passion, architect Franzoia designed the installation's "whimsical" itinerary himself, along the lines of the qualitative and personal taste choices that inspired the genesis of the collection, letting himself be guided by empathy, emotions and memories.

Contemporary Murano production characterized by and excess of
ornamentation.

"My favorite piece in the collection is a little black vase, not in production, designed by Carlo Scarpa which Ginette Venini kept in her boudoir, it's small enough to be kept in your pocket."
