At the end of 2006, we met the poet Tonino Guerra and started a fruitful cooperation which resulted in many original artistic projects.
The first artworks produced were coloured glass items, commissioned to complete “TOLSTOJ’S LANTERNS”, a series of recycled iron sculptures realised according to the poet’s idea by the Romagna blacksmith Aurelio Brunelli.

Following the success of the first collaboration, we also produced a series of Murano glass PAINTINGS representing subjects selected by the poet.

Tolstoy lanterns were exhibited at the Pushkin Museum Moscow in the summer and autumn of 2007
