History of Vistosi: In the 17th century, the name Vistosi became the name of the members of the Murano glassmakers' family, Gazzabin, who owned the "Al Bastian" kiln since 1640 and had already been dedicated to the art of blowing for a century. In 1791, Giobatta Gazzabin Vistosi became the head of the masters of the art of glass and the representative of the masters of the Murano furnaces. After a dark period, during which the art of glass seemed to be in the sunset, at the end of the Second World War, Guglielmo Vistosi, heir of the Gazzabins, opened a new kiln in Murano in 1945 and began to devote himself to the production of objects for lighting. In 1989, Giancarlo Moretti, a Murano glass entrepreneur, took over the Vistosi brand and founded Vetreria Vistosi, which is run by his son Matteo.In the second Eurispes report on excellence in 2007, Vetreria Vistosi received excellent recognition as one of the 100 best selected in Italy. Presence in the history of Italian design: Under the direction of Guglielmo's grandchildren, Gino and Luciano, was launched the collaboration with the most important contemporary designers, from which were born emblematic creations of the history of Italian industrial design: Alega by Vico Magistretti, the table lamp by Gae Aulenti, Vega by Michele De Lucchi, creations by Ettore Sottsass and Adalberto Dal Lago. In 1967 Angelo Mangiarotti designed a series of modular glass hooks without a fixed structure, to which he gave the name Giogali, which from then on became the symbol of the Vistosi collections.
