1.8 Nowtilus: Murano e il vetro con Alice de Santillana e Marcantonio Brandolini D’Adda

Nowtilus: Murano and glass between history and innovation with Alice de Santillana (AUTONOMA) and Marcantonio Brandolini D’Adda (LagunaB). In the eighth episode of our podcast series “Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon of the 21st century”, we will be talking about one of the most deeply-rooted traditions in the history of this city: glass production, which in recent years has been in search of a new balance between innovation and tradition. We’ll be doing this together with Alice De Santillana, artist, designer and co-founder of Autonoma, a research and exchange project that aims to internationalize this art form, and with Marcantonio Brandolini D’Adda, designer of LagunaB, a project that seeks to reinvent and relaunch the exceptional product of Murano island through new production systems, in the spirit of environmental sustainability and new aesthetics. The episode is available on Ocean Archive, SoundCloud, Spotify, iTunes and Google Podcasts. Music: Rivers of Sand, The Point of it All, Laguna by Christian Fennesz, from the album “Venice” (2004). The podcast is in Italian. English transcripts of all episodes are available on Ocean Archive: https://ocean-archive.org/view/1974.
