WELCOME TO MY BLOG.

I've always had an interest in gardens and in the natural world. I soon realized that these were more than just flowers to me, but people, places, pictures, history, thoughts...
Starting from a detail seen during one of my visits, unexpected worlds come out, sometimes turned to the past, others to the future.

Travel in a Garden invites you to discover them.

Three bonbonnières from the exhibition 'Vittorio Zecchin: Transparent Glass for Cappellin and Venini', Venice

Three bonbonnières from the current exhibition Vittorio Zecchin: Transparent Glass for Cappellin and Venini, held on the Island of San Giorgio in Venice.

The exhibition focuses on the work of Vittorio Zucchini (1878-1947) for the glassware company Cappellin and Venini, of which he was artistic director. 
Essential, classical lines and colours feature his production of vases, bowls, plates, fruit stands and dinner services, and these three bonbonnières designed between 1921 and 1926. 
Simple transparent glass boxes to be filled in with sweet confetti, in light-blue, green and dark amethyst colours with lids decorated with fresh and cheerful applied flowers and leaves in glass.
