Casa Rosanna was founded in 2023, in the very spaces that once housed the design studio of Rosanna Toso, the last artistic director of the glassworks until the 1980s. Those rooms—once alive with sketches, colours, and projects—have come back to life as a place of encounter between memory and creation. Casa Rosanna is not just a gallery: it is a creative home, an open space where history is renewed every day through new dialogues, weaving together heritage and experimentation.

 Since its opening, Casa Rosanna has hosted an exhibition in collaboration with Micheluzzi Glass, Marina and Susanna Sent, and Barbini Specchi Veneziani, intertwining the historical legacy of Fratelli Toso with contemporary production. Within its walls, vintage and modern coexist harmoniously, both in glass and in furnishings, creating a narrative that serves as a bridge between past and present.

In 2024, on the occasion of the 170th anniversary of the Fratelli Toso’ founding, the artist Gizetaworks reinterpreted some of Fratelli Toso’s most iconic pieces in delicate watercolours, capturing the poetry of transparency and the vivid strength of colour through a refined, emotional language. During the Venice Glass Week, she also created a large site-specific panel that intertwined symbols of Japanese culture with some of the glassworks’ most emblematic postwar murrine — particularly the Kiku, stylised chrysanthemums whose very name and form trace back to Japanese influence.

In 2025, Casa Rosanna transformed into a Secret Garden — a poetic evocation of flowers and leaves, light and reflections, where nature becomes a metaphor for rebirth and memory. In this dreamlike setting took shape the collaboration with glass master Simone Crestani, invited to reinterpret a selection of extraordinary designs from the Fratelli Toso Archive — a true treasure chest of creativity and a cultural heritage of immense value.

From those aged papers and original sketches — dating between the Liberty of the 1910s and the Art Déco of the 1920s— blossomed twenty-one transparent glass goblets, delicate and vital as floral shoots from a past that continues to inspire the present. Crestani captured the fluid and ornamental spirit of those drawings, reimagining them through his contemporary vocabulary of organic transparency, balance, and wonder.

Today, Casa Rosanna continues to evolve as a laboratory of ideas, a gallery and exhibition space open to dialogue and cross-pollination — a place where the history of glass meets the language of the present, and where curatorship becomes a tool of connection between memory, creativity, and the future.
