The history of glass on display in Milan

Scheduled from October 6 through 9, 2015, at Rho Fiera Milano, Vitrum is a fair that specializes in glass-making machinery, equipment and products.In collaboration with ICE (the agency for the promotion and internationalization of Italian companies abroad), it will host a large exhibition on the past, present and future of glass.The exhibition includes three main sections: glass in history and design, glass as the main feature of architecture, glass and new technologies.The objects on display include an amphora with scenes of gladiators dating back to the II century AD exhibited only once before in Milan in 1964, a very rare example of a glass radiator of 1941, and a 2007 edition of the “Ghost” armchair by Cini Boeri in silvered glass made by Fiam.(photo: Ghost - Architect: Cini Boeri)
