"Vitricca" is the linguistic creation of Andrew Iannazzi as he strives to define the multi-faceted pursuits of his artistic work. The latin words vitrum, for glass, and fabrica for workshop, art, trade, industry, or craft. This combination deftly describes the arsenal of artistic endeavors he aims to pursue.
Vitricca glass strives to create emotional connections to a shared cultural past. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes profound, our collections reflect memories that provide delightful reminders of what it means to be modern.
