Bio:
Cerri Nestore operated in Volterra, Tuscany, a town renowned for its centuries-old alabaster carving tradition. During the twentieth century, many Volterra workshops produced decorative and functional objects in alabaster, taking advantage of the stone’s natural translucency, especially for lighting. Pieces from the 1960s and 1970s combine traditional craftsmanship with the clean, geometric forms characteristic of modern Italian design.
