In 1946 he repeatedly went to Murano to better document on art glass. Here he met Paolo Venini who, sensing the creative spirit of the young Bianconi invited him to work in his glassware. From this collaboration was born the figures of the Commedia dell'Arte, the Tiepolo, the handkerchief, the Sirens, the Piebalds and many others.
