      All tubes components of the monumental glass tree are glass blown by the Masters glass Cenedese, the main skill and uniqueness of the shape and the materials are realized carefully, piece by piece with the great and wonderfull result. The straight glass tubes seem to be curved but this is just an optical effect that the glass lights and shape give to the observer, that's maybe why the artist called it:" Riflessi di vetro in un albero di Natale".("Glass Reflections in a Christmas tree").

      Very important work on the shining tree was made by the family-run work-shop, La Moleria Ferro Riccardo e Pietro that cutted carefully and precisely all the glass tubes, and give many advise on the glass part realization.
