Murano glass chandeliers of the Carezzonico or Ciocca type, in any case chandeliers for large spaces and volumes:
take their name from one of the most famous buildings in Venice, located in the sestiere di Dorsoduro and overlooking the Grand Canal between Contarini Michiel Palace e Bernardo Nani Palace, not far from Ca'Foscari
Ca' Rezzonico is the seat of the Museum of 18th-century Venice, but it also houses an immense historical treasure of Murano blown glass chandeliers: the chandelier Ciocca or Rezzonico to be clear, the first designed and planned by Giuseppe Briati and made in Murano in the second half of the 18th century. A monumental Murano chandelier of sumptuousness and lightness, supported by an innovative interlocking technique that seems to cancel the load-bearing structure among the colored reflections. The chandelier Ciocca or Rezzonico is the focal point of the exhibition curated by Cornelia Lauf with the scientific direction of Gabriella Belli.
