Biography



Albano Poli was born in Verona on August 2, 1935. He attended the Napoleone Nani art school in Verona, directed by the master Pino Casarini. As suggested by master Pino Casarini, Albano Poli began creating masterful works of art using glass material. In a small art shop in the center of Verona Albano Poli begins his long career. At first he restores and reproduces stained glass windows for churches. Then over time, Albano Poli begins combining manual ability with creative genius to design stained glass windows with unique distinctive style. Each piece of artistic works is always new, different, and meets the approval of those who admire the artwork for the preciousness of the materials, the precision of the execution and often for the unique abstraction composition. The windows of Master Poli are in fact characterized by their chromatic compositions and abstract style that conveys a liturgical message, harmoniously inserting itself in the context in which they are placed. In his long career, Albano Poli has never abandoned the art of restoration thus showing his love for art and respect for human history.
Also in this field, Albano Poli does not "limit" his knowledge, but expands and explores techniques and methods, acquiring an experience that has allowed him, over the years, to face important restoration interventions in areas, such as canvas and frescoes works. Albano Poli's creativity soon led him to surround himself with professionals and craftsmen who learned to appreciated the same sensitivity to creating and preserving artwork in its original form or in the vision of the customer using his unique artistic and technical expressions. The poetic vein of the artist has revealed itself, over the years, through countless experiments and manual arts. Albano has experience with all kinds of art including oil paintings, fresco and bas-relief. The "Renaissance" workshop where he and his fellow artists now create works ranging from stained glass windows, mosaics, frescoes, bronzes and wooden sculptures to stone or metal monuments, is the synthesis of the love and the vision of arts that he and his craftsman create as a reflection of the artist and craftsman who dwells within each art piece.
