The Venetian Renaissance tradition of glass-making is carried on with skill and craftsmanship by the Tosi Brothers, the third-generation members of a family of artisans. The founder of the family, Romano Tosi, in the 1900s, quit his job as master glass-maker to devote himself to the art of Venetian mirror-making.
