Merletti d'Autore

At the Museo del Merletto in Burano, an exhibition explores designer lace with a focus on the 1920s and 1930s. Works by Giulio Rosso, Fausto Melotti, Vittorio Zecchin, Giovanni Gariboldi and Tomaso Buzzi appear with preparatory drawings, cartoons and period publications. A section covers the 1931 Amsterdam international review where Italian lace stood alongside Murano ceramics and glass. Part of the fifth Biennale del Merletto, it honours Doretta Davanzo Poli.
