For over 70 years, the Varisco family has passed on engraving techniques from father to son, using the same machinery and approach employed for hundreds of years. Marco Varisco Senior opened his workshop in Murano in 1923. After two decades he moved to Treviso, where his son Italo joined him as an apprentice. Today, Italo works alongside his son, Marco Varisco Junior, carrying out the time-honored family tradition of hand engraving. Each piece is engraved free hand, without marks to show the desired drawing. The piece is then beveled and polished by hand using a cork wheel and pumice stone, giving it a unique finish. The entire Varisco family works with dedication and deep pride in the bottega (workshop). Visiting their world of artistry is like going back in time.
