Born in Murano in 1936, Raffaeli went to a local school and at the age of fifteen, he began working with the Seguso-Dalla Venezia glass furnace. There he met Piero Scaramal, from whom he first learned the secrets of the magic art that makes Murano well known as the capital of glass making. During the seven years spent with Scaramal, Raffaeli developed his skills and his personality, advancing step by step in the traditional career of a glassmaker, from "Garzone", the furnace boy, to "primo servente", a first level assistant.

The second furnace Raffaeli worked at was also very famous, the Salviati's. There he experienced with different techniques, from glass blowing to "massiccio" glass, the working of a mass of glass that results in large, solid sculptures. In 1966 Raffaeli entered a new furnace, Briati's, where he became a glassmaster and realized the designs of Flavio Poli. Finally, together with his assistants and some friends, he decided to start a new adventure. Today Raffaeli, who has reached the higher point in his artistic career, can and must sign every single piece that he realizes.

Currently, Ars Murano is still a small factory, but with Elio, his partners and all their associates, it will certainly find very soon its place among the greatest furnaces, those where the sacred fire of glass making burns. If over estimate, we will take care of covering any excess. PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY : Photos are considered part of the listing description. We try to give you as close to an "in-person" view as possible.
