Born
in Bassano in 1940, Bruno Costenaro began learning the secrets
of ceramics at the age of thirteen, working at companies in Marostica
and Cassola. At twenty years old, he set out on his own, first
with two partners in the city of Vallonara, then independently
in the city of Pianezze. Over the years work increased and the
business moved to Molvena. In the beginning, the production took
place in the basement of his new residence; then, after many sacrifices,
he built a workshop adjacent to his home, where he still works
today. The strength of the business was remarkable, thanks to
the level of creativity, innovation, their interest in exporting,
and the company's ability to overcome the crisis in this business
sector,
giving work, in the space of these years, to approximately seventy
collaborators, of whom Mr. Costenaro taught the trade: amongst
them, his children who continue the business. On March 26, 2000,
Bruno Costenaro was awarded with the honorary title of Master
Craftsman of the Province of Vicenza; in tribute to the exemplary
manner he has conducted himself both personally and professionally,
distinguishing himself for his dedication to work and for his
generosity to pass on the techniques and values to the following
generations. Until now, the Ceramiche Bruno Costenaro company
has had the advantage of being one of the most prestigious factories
of ceramics in the area, always looking to the future, conducting
research to the satisfaction of his customers, furnishing them
with high quality artistic products.
PRODUCTS: lamps, candlesticks,
