S ince the 1st century in the big roman city of Aquileia many distinguished "Vitrari" worked and among the greatest artists Master C. Salvius Gratus stood out for the artistic inspiration and the quality of his works and his signed finds one can still enjoy in the prestigious collection at the local Archaeological Museum. As testified by the finds in the region, glass making was ever since times put in activity by reliable firms whose trademarks fixed the quality of their products together with the artistic value at the handmade. The production of glasses of roman Aquileia is characterized by transparency, lively variety of tones, lightness, iridescences and the multiplicity of modules and shapes, so that the idea of the move to Aquileia of the great Master Ennione, who arrived here from his Sidon to bring secrets and art skills, is made credible. Nawadays the entrepreneurial and artistic challenge that "Salvius" is on the point al launching really derives stimuli and vigour from the continuity al values worded by a millenary but certainly not anachronistic tradition. Through a second reading that from the remote past mingles with the sediments of a recent past settled on this territory rich in history and telling us about the glass tradition of the "muranesi" masters, al the Mitteleuropean culture witn the Vienna Sezession the great work of Gustav Klimt, the Art Nouveau, our firm proposes a presence of competence, creativity and innovative entrepreneurial "humanism". The "Salvius" is able to offer its customers the widest choice of products of artistic glass making, thanks to the high technology of its production facilities, always matching with the refined and intrinsic aesthetic quality of the product. The art Director Mauro Manuel Musiani, established designer witn wide experience in the ceramics and glass field, who matured in his atelier, in art exhibitions shows, prestigious expositions with recognitions received in Italy and abroad, is entrusted with the artistic and technological direction of the firm.
