Ercole Moretti today
Welcome to Ercole Moretti, where the magic of Murano glass has taken shape for over a century. In the heart of this renowned artisanal tradition, Paolo and Marcello Moretti, third-generation artisans, breathe new life into their family’s legacy. With dedication beyond mere creativity, they carefully preserve the secrets and techniques passed down from generations through decades of history and passion.
Since 1911, Ercole Moretti has woven the thread of a story, that of Murano glass art, now a symbol of excellence and passionate dedication. The artisan-entrepreneurs of the Moretti family have continuously preserved the authenticity and intrinsic value of this artistic expression, made of Millefiori Venetian beads and murrine of every kind and color.
That is why today Ercole Moretti is a true icon of Venetian glass culture and art worldwide.
Evolution over the years
Our century-long history is part of the ongoing evolution of Murano glass art, rooted in the past yet always eager for innovation and new experiments. The wisdom passed down through generations merges with pioneering visions that mark our personal contribution to this ancient tradition.
Our dedication is revealed through the introduction of innovative techniques in iconic processes: the exclusive “burattatura” and the use of copper for creating holes in beads, as well as copper molds for making pendants, have set new standards of excellence in the glass art sector. At Ercole Moretti, we believe that evolution is the engine that keeps tradition alive, making each piece not just a product but a tangible testament to a continuously evolving heritage.
Why we do it
Our mission is to preserve over the time the mantra of beauty and harmony that every murrina entails. Dostoevsky’s immortal words, “beauty will save the world,” are enriched by the contemporary reflection of S. Latouche: “…if the world saves beauty.”
In our effort to preserve the ancient Murano glass art, we strive to infuse each creation with a touch of joy and harmony. We invite you to join us in exploring the magic and enchantment that make each of our pieces a unique and extraordinary witness to Beauty.
