Napoleone Martinuzzi (1892-1977) Vase circa 1930 In green pulegoso glass signed with Venini Murano acid under the base H. 31 cm D. 24 cm Provenance: > Private collection, Italy Condition report: Perfect condition, no scratches, no chips or accidents Napoleone Martinuzzi is an Italian sculptor, designer and glass artist. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice before joining the Cà Pesaro group. In 1917, he befriended writer Gabriele D'Annunzio and became his protégé. A few years later, he was appointed director of the Murano Glass Museum, a post he held for ten years. Inspired by the work of Vittorio Zecchin, he created pieces in blown glass, often playing with the transparency of the material. Then, at the end of the 1920s, he turned to a more personal style and began a series of sculptures in pulegoso glass, featuring brightly-colored containers, cacti, fruit and animals. His work has been exhibited extensively in Italy, and he has taken part in the Venice Biennale on several occasions.
