The exhibition is set to be a celebration of artists working in glass. Tagliapietra and Chihuly, have worked together, creating unprecedented forms and techniques born from the genius of both minds. Tagliapietra, an undisputed master, blows glass into masterpieces without sketches or plans, guided purely by breath and mind. Two world-renowned masters, they continue to inspire younger generations.  From the next generation in the global glass scene, Maria Grazia Rosin and Tristano di Robilant are essential presences.

Tristano di Robilant creates harmonious, enigmatic sculptures suspended between solidity and weightlessness—light, transparent forms that embody his poetic vision. His process begins with a spontaneous drawing, an immediate gesture transformed into three-dimensional form in the furnace. Through siliceous shapes inspired by poetry and literature, Tristano, together with Maestro Zilio, turns ideas into drawings and brings them to life in a single breath.

Maria Grazia Rosin, a master of rock-like, pulsating, mirrored forms inspired by octopuses, cuttlefish, and deep-sea creatures, remains deeply attentive to the environment that hosts her work, placing it with grace and sensitivity in complete harmony with the palace.

Lino Tagliapietra
, based in Murano, participates with a work that is a hymn to color: shifting brushstrokes of yellow, like the moment you enter underwater and the marine world welcomes you with a light that seems switched on.
