In Verona, there's a cool exhibition called 'Vetro' at Studio la Città, featuring the artwork of 12 talented artists who focus on glass. The lineup includes names like Stuart Arends, Luigi Carboni, Marcela Cernadas, and more. Although it was supposed to kick off on March 21, 2020, the opening got postponed because of the COVID-19 outbreak. To make sure everyone could enjoy it, Hélène de Franchis, the gallery owner and curator, created a video tour where she personally walks viewers through the exhibit, along with some photos taken right before the gallery had to close.
