Toni Zuccheri at Venini (English Edition)

Born in San Vito al Tagliamento (Pordenone), but Venetian by adoption, Toni Zuccheri (1936-2008) trained at the school of his father Luigi, an animal painter, then attended the University Institute of Architecture in Venice where he graduated in 1968. While still a student at the end of 1961, he arrived at Venini - replacing his father - to design a glass bestiary that Ludovico de Santillana wanted to realise, following an idea of Paolo Venini, whom he had succeeded in the management of the company. Thus began in an almost fortuitous way a collaboration that was destined to continue over time, albeit discontinuously.
