Connie:

Much of the glass listed here appears to be from Oscar, and the modernist nature of some sculptures could lead one towards the 1960s, hence the father.

I just came across this on the site (click 'about')

--- Quote ---The Zanetti Vetreria Artistica was founded in 1956 by the glassmaster Oscar Zanetti and his son Licio.

Hope this helps.  :)

David E:
Sorry that was me – the phantom log out caught me!

Like Connie I've just come across the next quote:


--- Quote ---In 1989 master Licio Zanetti stepped down in favor of his son Oscar, who had been working by his side since his youth.
--- End quote ---


So this is no help at all! However, other sites seem to confirm Licio was very prominent around the 1960s, so I would say he is the father.

BUT, http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/manw-z.htm contradicts this with:


--- Quote ---Zanetti, Vetreria Fratelli
Murano, Venice, Italy (1956 - )
Founded by Oscar Zanetti & his son Licio. Luciano Zanetti.
--- End quote ---


Grief, what a tangled "web" we lead...
