Arnalso Zanella - Bio

Arnaldo Zanella (1949), was born in Saint Erasmus, a small island of the venetian lagoon, at three minutes from Murano the glass manufactoring island.
Most of people born and living in such a small piece of land, dedicate their life to agriculture and vegetables but Arnaldo’s life had to be different.

Since his very first youth he fell in love with glass and in the same time he could help his family, with the fruit of his work.
Visiting a furnace with one of his relatives, seing kiln operating, the heat and men bathed in perspiration, he took an obvious decision.

He wanted to be one of them but with a lot of good will. His good will, will be admired in future.
Around the years fifty-sixty the most popular and important organization onto the island was Seguso Vetri d’Arte, a real breeding ground for artists.
He worked side by side with Alfredo Barbini, Angelo Seguso, Ermanno Nason, Pino Signoretto and several others.
