Abstract: I began my research on twentieth-century Murano Glassware in 2022 at the Centro Studi del Vetro of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini in Venice. In 2023, thanks to the Rakow Grant, I was able to broaden my scope beyond Murano to glassware producers throughout Italy, which, in the shadow of the fame of Venetian glass, have rarely been studied. This brief report is the result of my research conducted on “The Italian Glassware Industry during the Fascist Regime.” It offers, from both a technical and aesthetic perspective, a glimpse of sources and discourse regarding the production of everyday use glass in Italy during the studied period, as well as a selective list of the major factories. The material I collected is enormously greater than shown here.
