Gino Cenedese, originally from the Venetian island of Murano, began his training as a glassmaker at the age of nine, learning the different techniques with various masters. In 1946, at the end of World War II, he founded the artistic glass firm Gino Cenedese & C., now Gino Cenedese e Figlio. Under his direction the artistic glass pieces of his firm achieved international recognition for their high quality. In parallel to the glassmaking tradition of Murano, focused on the production of all kinds of blown pieces, Cenedese was able to open in a distinctly contemporary line, based on the continuous search for new ways to exploit and interpret the properties of glass. From the fifties will collaborate with the firm prominent designers and artists, and their pieces will be shown in major national and international exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale.
