Born in Bassano in 1940, Bruno Costenaro began learning the secrets of ceramics at the age of thirteen, working at companies in Marostica and Cassola. At twenty years old, he set out on his own, first with two partners in the city of Vallonara, then independently in the city of Pianezze.
Over the years work increased and the business moved to Molvena. In the beginning, the production took place in the basement of his new residence; then, after many sacrifices, he built a workshop adjacent to his home, where he still works today.
The strength of the business was remarkable, thanks to the level of creativity, innovation, their interest in exporting, and the company’s ability to overcome the crisis in this business sector, giving work, in the space of these years, to approximately seventy collaborators, of whom Mr. Costenaro taught the trade: amongst them, his children who continue the business.
