Résumé : [...] At the Venini glassworks he [Toni Zuccheri] concentrates enthusiastically on research and experimentation with the glass material and with time acquired a remarkable understanding both of hot and cold processing techniques. The first results were to be seen at the 1964 Venice Biennale, where next to the Crepuscoli and Giade series some of the bestiary animals were first exhibited: ducks in polychrome glass and unusual farmyard animals in glass and bronze (turkey and guinea-fowls) published in the pages of Domus, together with the famous hoopoe with innumerable feathers executed under heat. Belonging tp this same period art the vetrate grosse, 'designed by GIo Ponti in the glass art of Toni Zuccheri produced in the Venini furnace', which are evidence of the contemporary experimentations on glass with the use of multi-material inclusions. Among the results of Zuccheri's research there was also stracciato glass, a semi-transparent vitreous material with a characteristic striated appearance which, apart from being used in new vases and bowls inspired by the plant world (Tronchi, Ninfee), was used also in lighting. From the late 1970s the glass bestiary was enriched with new models, confirming again Zuccheri's interest in this subject, interpreted in a way that could never be taken for granted. This volume, arising out of in-depth research based on partially unpublished material from the Venini historical archives and from the personal archives of the artist, illustrates the achievements of the association with a sequence of about two hundred models, accompanied by drawings and period photographs.
