This was made possible by the intense research carried out especially at the glass-making company's historical archive, which has at last been rediscovered. The whole production designed by the Venetian architect is illustrated in about six hundred works divided into the different types of glass around thirty - either used and/or invented by Scarpa in order to breathe life into his refined creations. The types of glass are classified as a mezza filigrana, som-mersi, lattimi, corrosi, tessuti, granulari, murrine, incisi, battuti, pennellate, a fili, and are the product of the untiring experiments the artist performed on material and colour. Precious and unprecedented documentary material, which includes original drawings and period photographs, complete this catalogue raisonné,
