The history of PROGETTO ARTE POLI starts in 1953, when Master Albano Poli began restoring and creating stained glass windows in a small workshop in a prestigious historic palace in the city centre of Verona. 
From his know-how and passion for stained glass started his workshop focusing on stained glass windows and design furniture that are still sought after nowadays. Of particular relevance are the Poliarte lamps that thanks to their unique and contemporary design are still sought after in today’s vintage markets.
Through the years, the workshop has expanded and included different techniques. Mosaics, frescoes, paintings, wrought iron, bronze and marble statues became part of the workshop alongside the stained glass. PROGETTO ARTE POLI is now an artistic atelier capable of creating unique artworks, tailored to the exact needs of the clients.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
