Alberto Toso Fei narrates...
“Abbot Vincenzo Zanetti, after a period of furnace closures under Austrian rule, dedicated his entire life to the island of Murano and its prestige.
Zanetti was born in Murano at number 97 of Fondamenta dei Vetrai.
If glassblowing is still practiced on the island of Murano today, it is thanks to him, who – before entering the patriarchal seminary (he took his vows in 1850) – had worked as an apprentice at the Conterie, where his father, Vettore, was employed. But above all, he never abandoned the idea of doing something for his island and never ceased to study the history of Murano and its glass industry.
He rediscovered the grandeur of ancient works, stimulated and supported entrepreneurs in recovering abandoned techniques, and fought for the improvement of working and living conditions for the workers. In 1867, he founded the newspaper “La Voce di Murano” and the “Biblioteca Popolare Circolante”; he built the civic tower on the foundations of the demolished bell tower of the Church of Santo Stefano, and most notably founded the Museo Civico Vetrario, a museum to collect the testimonies of the art of glass through the centuries, alongside the establishment of a school for applied design in glass art. Today, the modern Glass School bears his name.”
