About The Artist

Cristais São Marcos owes its artistic foundation to a remarkable cultural exchange that transformed the history of Murano crystal art in Brazil. For centuries, the revered techniques of Murano glassmaking remained largely exclusive to Italy. That changed in the 1950s with the arrival of Aldo Bonora, the first Italian master glassmaker to bring authentic Murano techniques to Brazil. After settling in Poços de Caldas, Bonora introduced a new generation of Brazilian artisans to this centuries-old craft, including Antônio Carlos Molinari, whose passion and talent would help shape the future of crystal artistry in the country.

Inspired by this knowledge and driven by generations of craftsmanship, the Molinari family founded Cristais São Marcos in 1962. Antônio Carlos Molinari’s journey alongside his father and brothers established him as one of Brazil’s most respected glass artists, with works exhibited in Rome, Barcelona, New York, Dubai, Tokyo, Paris, and Venice. Today, Cristais São Marcos is one of the largest Murano crystal factories in the world, the largest in Brazil, and the largest in Latin America, blending Venetian glassmaking heritage with Brazilian creativity to produce crystal masterpieces celebrated worldwide for their artistry, elegance, and innovation.
