THE MAN
Almost four decades have passed since I met Mariano with whom I collaborated for the realization of numerous and complex works. It was an important meeting that allowed me to introduce myself to the magical world of glass art. I appreciated in him the passion, the professionalism and the seriousness of the man in one piece, with his utopias, rejecting the vision of a world that is often indifferent and devoid of ethical, moral and social values. Its continuous search for innovative and material solutions makes it current and projected into the future. It is distinguished by generosity towards the social, with the creation of training workshops and the desire to stimulate the new generations to meet the art of glass and other forms of art. A praise to the artist Mariano: art is freedom without ties and ties, but also contamination between art and life.
