Carlo Scarpa. Vetri e Disegni. 1925-1931 is an exceptional exhibition organized by the Municipality of Verona in collaboration with LE STANZE DEL VETRO and Pentagram Stiftung, with the support of Fondazione Cariverona. Hosted in the Boggian Hall of the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, this exhibition offers a fascinating exploration of the Muranese glass art tradition through the lens of the renowned Venetian architect, Carlo Scarpa.
The exhibition, originally scheduled from 23 November 2019 to 29 March 2020, was unfortunately cut short due to the COVID-19 emergency but still stands as a remarkable opportunity to dive deep into Scarpa's collaboration with the esteemed M.V.M. Cappellin & C. glassworks. Through a carefully curated selection of 69 glass pieces, 52 of Scarpa’s drawings, and period photographs, the show creates a compelling dialogue between design and creation.
Additionally, the Carlo Scarpa Archive in Verona, housed at the Castelvecchio Museum, preserves valuable drawings and photographic documents related to this remarkable collaboration, underscoring the historical and artistic significance of the exhibition.
