Paolo Crepax (1949 - ) Born in Venice on 14 October 1949. He began working with glass at just 10 years old, learning from the great master Livio Seguso. At the age of 16 Fulvio Scarpa entrusted him with his first job as a master glassmaker. In 1979 he founded Filigrana srl, a company with an artistic vocation in line with the increasingly authoritative Paolo Crepax, which has established itself on the artistic glass market thanks to its elegant filigree creations, designed in fire and forged with passion. In 1985 a jury of illustrious master glassmakers (such as Alfredo Barbini, Archimede Seguso, Ermanno Nason and Silvio Seguso) celebrated his talent by awarding him the prestigious "Murano Award" for his dish "Homage to Mirò". The collaboration with the painter Riccardo Shwarizer confirmed his artistic talent, for which Crepax also won the "Murano Prize" the following year.
