Vittorio Zecchin

Vittorio Zecchin (Murano, 21 May 1878 Murano, 15 April 1947) graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. Intolerant of the late nineteenth-century veristic culture he encountered there, he was instead attracted by the stimuli offered by the Venice Biennials which he frequented, coming into contact with symbolist research and the environment of the Viennese Secession. In 1914 he presented at the Xi Biennial, together with the painter Teodoro Wolf Ferrari, some glass pieces made at the Barovier glassworks. After 1918 he favored the applied arts. From 1921 to 1925 he was the artistic director of the company Vetri Soffiati Muranesi Cappellin Venini & C.
