In Murano, he engages with Rosa Barovier Mentasti, Verilda De Polo, Lucio Bubacco, Cesare Toffolo, Vittorio Costantini, and Bruno Amadi, among others, to discover more about the history of lampworking. The Flame travels across lampworking history through the works, words, and memories of these notable artists and scholars.
