Giampaolo Martinuzzi was another personality known since the early Seventies in art galleries and museums, though more abroad than in Italy. Towards the end of the decade he devoted his efforts to solitary, original research of the properties of glass, which he perceived as a primitive and frugal material. He indeed displayed the same personal sensitivity to other raw materials, claiming that to process or polish was to hide the sheer beauty of the object: a wheathered piece of wood was thus a potential living support for engraved glass.
