Dear Gianni,
May this letter find you, your family and your artistic staff in good health.

As we look around our new church, St. Augustine’s, New City, NY, we cannot but notice the beautiful works of art in our stained glass windows that you created for us. They are the first things people notice and are taken back by their beauty, the craftsmanship, and spiritual presence. Almost to a person, remarks: “the faces are so real, the colors brilliant, they draw you into the sceneand prayerful presence of its theme.” Everyone has a favorite window, yet drawn to all.

What your eye and hands have created is a spiritual presence of God in and through your artistic design. The brilliant coloring in each window brings the scene alive; the faces drawing one to a connectedness of Jesus, Mary, the Saints, the Last Supper, St. Augustine (our patron saint), and his mother St. Monica, the Baptism of Jesus, and the Children of the World, to mention a few.

To recommend you to others is our pleasure and joy, especially when we can say, “let us show you what Vetrate Artistiche Toscane has done for us and how happy we are.” Fr. Cannulli was truly a gift to us and his recommendations to having you make our windows, another gift. When we have professional photographs taken of our stained glass windows, we will most definitely send you copies.

Again Gianni, many, many thanks for a job well done and one worth waiting for. May you, your family and staff have a truly blessed, happy and holy Christmas.

Joyfully in Christ,
Msgr. William Foley, pastor
Deacon Lawrence O’Toole, chairmain

We create decorative panels of glass featuring the traditional technique of painting with grisaille, enamels and silver stain, used for centuries in cathedrals. The subject changes, but the quality remains constant. Since the techniques and materials have not changed for centuries, we reproduce the pieces in the old way, an art that becomes vital in the process of restoration.

With an eye on the evolution taking place in the world of glass, we also like to combine ancient and modern techniques, like fusing, when the site allows it.

Dear Gianni,
Praised be Jesus Christ!

I write to you from the Carmelite Monastery in Wisconsin, U.S.A. Yesterday I went to see the stained glass windows that you did for Fr. Richard Cannuli of the Transfiguration and Our Lady of the Burning bush. The nuns want you to know that we are VERY VERY HAPPY with the windows. They are everything we wanted and more!!! Thank you so much for sending them to us before Christmas! Please extend our deep gratitude to Alberto for the beauty of the faces. Words could never express the joy that these windows brought to our hearts. God has gifted you with great talent, may he ever be glorified for the wonderful work you have done!

With loving gratitude in Christ,
Mother Mary Elizabeth of the Blessed Trinity, O.C.D., and all of the nuns.
