Stromboli
The Sophistication of Decorated Glass. Made in Italy
The journey through Paesaggi Italiani takes a break in the dream world of the Stromboli.
Of the Aeolian archipelago, Stromboli is the most striking volcanic island.
In these magical places, all the elements of nature come together and create a burst of colour and light that cannot be painted or photographed. These are chromatic emotions that could only be imprinted and memorised on a glass surface.
An abstract painting dominated by the light of a volcanic event that has just passed. Stillness has just returned.

Stromboli Finishing
By Giovanni Luca Ferreri
Stromboli, part of the Aeolian archipelago, is renowned for its continuous volcanic activity and stunning landscapes, making it a focal point for visitors seeking both natural beauty and geological marvels.
I wanted to portray this landscape through a surface of silvery ripples on deep blue. Then spurts of light on an intense, dense background. A set of nuances and colours that take us into a dreamlike state, into the time of myth.
I wanted to imprint on a single sheet of glass everything one sees when looking at the sea from a motionless boat in front of the breathtaking Sciara Del Fuoco.
The Stromboli finish is made on extra-clear acid-etched glass decorated with silver engravings on the front and shaded with blue on the back, all silvered in a heavy antique finish.
“At Stromboli, moods change as swiftly as the clouds, the wind, the waves. Here everything is blurred, heights and abysses, death and energy, boiling earth and calm blue sea.”Fabrizio Caramagna
