Vittorio Livi<\/strong> has always had one passion: glass. This allowed him to dedicate his life to his furniture glasswork<\/strong> creations, breathtaking pieces we all can admire in iSaloni 2019<\/strong><\/em><\/u>. With the goal of rising glass to the throne in the world of design, Vittorio Livi founded FIAM and designs the company\u2019s first product, the \u201cOnda pouf\u201d<\/em>, in 1973.<\/p>\n

Fullet, the very first company founded by him, produced colored glass for the furniture industry<\/strong> and was followed by a succession of companies: Artiglass, Curvovetro, Cromoglass and Vellutart. The merging of all of these companies in 1973 resulted in FIAM, the first company to produce furnishing items in curved glass<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After overseeing the restoration of Montegridolfo, a walled town dating back to the 7th century B.C., in 1992 Vittorio Livi purchased and renovated Villa Miralfiore, a historic building in Pesaro constructed in 1260. A part of the villa is dedicated to \u201cSpazio Miralfiore\u201d, a museum for works of art<\/strong> in glass produced by Livi and several other talented Italian<\/strong> and international artists and master artisans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
