Angelo Barovier, inspired by a Venetian chandelier from the Barovier&Toso archives, invented a decomposed chandelier made of arms which, like an enchanted snake, rise and sinuously move away from the center. Hence the name: "Bissa" is the word that Venetians use to indicate a snake.

Angelo Barovier
Son of Ercole Barovier, one of the most brilliant glass designers of the 20th century, Angelo was born in Venice on November 30, 1927. After classical studies at the "Marco Foscarini" high school in Venice, since 1947 he has participated in the management of his father's furnace - the Barovier&Toso glassworks, among the oldest and most famous in the sector - and at the same time graduated in Law at the University of Padua, attends seminars and participates in courses for industry executives.
Faithful collaborator of his father, Angelo soon dedicated himself to the planning and design of objects and decorative lighting for large complexes, using the possibilities offered by handmade glass with taste and competence.
Since 1948, both as a glass designer and as a painter he has participated in various collective exhibitions in the sector (for glass: the Venice Biennials and the Milan Triennials) while he has eight personal exhibitions of "Vetropitture", an original and unprecedented innovation in the field of the figurative arts.
