venini—the world famous italian glass company—traces it roots to 1921, when paolo venini (1895-1959), a milan lawyer with glassmaking ancestors, and giacomo cappellin (1887-1968), a venetian antiques dealer, launched the cappellin venini & c. Glass factory on the island of murano. Under the art direction of vittorio zecchin, cappellin and venini’s business produced high quality, renaissance-style goblets, pitchers, and vases.

when paolo venini passed away in 1959, his company passed to his son-in-law, ludovico diaz de santillan. In the 1970s, ludovico’s daughter, laura, managed the company, until the gardini and ferruzzi families acquired it in the mid-1980s. Through the end of the 20th century, venini continued to work with outstanding design talents, including gae aulenti,mario bellini, alessandro mendini, timo sarpaneva, and ettore sottsass.
