Nicola, 52 years old, spent his childhood in Martellago where he attended secondary school.
He later moved to Noale where he currently live with his wife and two children aged 12 and 21.

Ready to be shipped
His great passion for his work and 36 years of experience at Arte Veneziana make Nicola one of the most experienced and careful assemblers in the company.
His work consists of combining the result of engravings, wooden structures and glass; creating the finished product.
The must-have tools for his job are his hands, a few screws and a lot of precision.
What are the benefits?
Knowledge
Great responsibilities
Difficulties in this laborious work can always be around the corner: the pieces on Nicola's workbench are very fragile and he can't risk making mistakes because of their uniqueness... Long story short, it's all in his hands!
