    Story
    Barovier & Toso is an Italian company specializing in Murano glassware (Venice). It has always been owned and managed by the Barovier family. Founded in 1295, its history is linked to that of the Republic of Venice.

    Barovier & Toso is, until 2015, the fifth oldest family business in the world and still in operation.

    Ercole Barovier (1889-1972), designer and chemist, designed more than 25,000 objects, the sketches of which are preserved in the company archives. In 1936, the Barovier family joined forces with the Toso family, also Venetian glassmakers. In 2015, Jacopo Barovier decided to sell 80% of the company's shares to Rinaldo Invernizzi, while none of his sons, nor those of Toso, wanted to take over the business. However, he remains CEO of the company.
