Alessandro Diaz de Santillana 1959–

Born in Paris of Venetian origin, Alessandro Diaz de Santillana graduated in Art History at the Università di Venezia in 1981. At Venini & C., founded by his grandfather, Paolo Venini, and managed by his father, Ludovico Diaz de Santillana, he had the opportunity to meet many artists from the American Studio Glass movement who worked at the furnace thanks to the openness and generosity of the artistic director. He collaborated with Venini & C. through 1985, and later with Rosenthal and Eos. He has been exhibiting since 1985, after choosing to progressively dedicate himself to his own personal artistic development and to the creation of original works.
