Murano Artisans of Brazil- Many Italians immigrated to Brazil in the early 20th century, including families from the island of Murano near Venice. Antonio Carlos, NOVICA's leading art glass designer in Brazil, was taught directly by Aldo Bonara, the first Italian master to arrive in Brazil from Murano Island. " We create original designs and colors, intended for the most demanding public that appreciates Murano artistry."
