Dino Martens (1894–1970) was an Italian painter and designer particularly noted for his glass work. He trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti.[1] He had his paintings exhibited at the Venice Biennale (1924–1930) and after his return from Italy's African wars became the artistic director of Aureliano Toso (the famous Venetian glass works).
