A descendant of a long line of glassworkers, DAVIDE SALVADORE was born in 1953 and still resides on the island of Murano. He followed his grandfather Antonio and maestro Alfredo Barbini, into the glass factories, assisting at the prestigious glass houses of Venini and Barovier & Toso before joining his mother in the family’s glass jewelry business. In 1987, Salvadore founded his own studio and continues to make expressive one-of-a-kind sculptures that push the boundaries of tradition. He is a founding member of Centro Studio Vetro, an organization devoted to promoting Murano’s glass art.
