Carlo Moretti (1934-2008) and Giovanni Moretti (1940-2014) came from a family that played a leading role in the revival of glassmaking since the mid-19th century. Great-grandsons of the celebrated Vincenzo Moretti and sons of one of the founders of ‘Moretti Ulderico & C.', they inherited the company's approach, maintaining the already solid production of coloured glass rods, while expanding their experimentation to moulded tableware and lighting objects.

The Carlo Moretti and Giovanni Moretti Archive, donated by the family to the Glass Studies Centre in 2017, offers a fresh perspective on the history of this glassworks, which, while rooted in the Murano tradition, later distinguished itself for its technical and stylistic awareness international trends and collaborations with renowned designers. The archive consists of 740 drawings spanning the period from 1972 to 2006.
