Help! Does anyone know anything about Franco Moretti????
GlassSeeker21:
yes thanks as well but I've seen that page already. Thats really the only thing I can find about that line of Morettis anywhere. It just seems so strange because its obviously a well know glassmaker family. Hard to imagine that there's nothing else anywhere about them online. All i've found out is that Franco is the son of Alessandro Moretti who was a well known glass maker from Murano.

;D Welcome to the world of Art Glass. ::)
It really is not a well-documented subject.
Perhaps you could write to some of the people involved with that link, to ask them?
GlassSeeker21:
Yes I have wrote to link mentioned in that article....no response though. I guess maybe I ought to be satisfied that I found a signed piece by a very talented glassmaker from Murano. I doubt Id ever part with it.
chopin-liszt:
That's a shame. But it happens. Perhaps leave a reasonable period of time and try again?
Sometimes I've had wonderful informative replies, other times I've been ghosted, once, I eventually recieved a very nice written letter in the post, telling me the person I was asking about, who might know something, had died.
Is Franco Moretti not still alive? Can you find out where he is working and contact him directly?
GlassSeeker21:
I really have no idea if he's still working or if he is even alive yet. I've been scouring the internet and cant seem to find anything about Franco. I'm pretty sure he is a real person though and I've seen other pieces of his work for sale online. Maybe ill post some pics of the piece I have and see if it sparks any interest here.
