PROGETTO ARTE POLI
The Progetto Arte Poli is a well-known company at both the national and international levels since they have been working in the
artistic sector for more than half a century.
The work of Progetto Arte Poli is inspired by the philosophy of the Renaissance workshop, which operates according to innovative
techniques still following the tradition.
In this large workshop of 6000 square meters, very high level crafts come together with artistic creativity. This combination is achieved,
thanks to the experience and manual abilities of qualified professionals who collaborated together with Master Albano Poli: an
example of the union between creative genius and manual ability, between loyalty to the ancient tradition and being open to new
artistic expressions.
The Veronese workshop of Albano Poli has been operating for decades in the sector of stained glass and furnishing accessories.
The works that come out of this workshop are finished, tested and ready to be inserted in the structures they are designed for; they
conserve every detail, the preciousness and precision of ancient techniques, while taking with them the breath of an invention that
uses the typical abstraction of contemporary art.
Mosaics, frescoes, wrought iron, stone, wooden works, bronze sculptures, and preservative restoration are used and integrated in
designing and making stained glass, confirming Progetto Arte Poliís strong point: combining very different artisan works and using the
irreplaceable traditional artistic techniques together with the latest forefront technology.
The company offers its experience in every phase from the design to the final realization as, well as assembling the products; this
fundamental added value has been confirmed by the fact that the company has obtained the S.O.A certification in the OS2, OG2
and OS6 for its workings.

The atelier
The ideas take shape in the atelier, where the raw
material is shaped to man’s will, where experience is
the bridge to join passion with knowledge to create
real masterpieces.
By working with different materials and techniques,
the Progetto Arte Poli studio is as versatile as any of
the ancient renaissance workshops, where the artist
and his assistants ably moved between glassware,
painting and sculpture.
The philosophy
Before becoming a project, each work is born from
a feeling, from an intuition that is then transferred as
a drawing onto paper and then shaped by the able
artist’s hands in the material, who creates and lives
the work as it grows.
In this frenetic world, time is paced in the workshop
by the actions that follow on from each other in an
age old ritual: each thought, each gesture is never
casual or limited to itself, but an essential part of the
whole to bring the soul of the work and of man to
light.
Anybody admiring a work of art must be able to
interpret its meanings through the emotions that
it causes, must be able to feel that it is alive and
be able to capture the message it transmits, and
therefore stop, for just a moment, to reflect on the
essence of things and of man himself.

The artist
Albano Poli began his long career more than fifty
years ago. Initially he restored or reproduced church
windows and then gradually, over the years, thanks
to his great manual skill and creative genius, he
began designing windows with his own style. Works
of art which are new and different each single time,
fully appreciated by their admirers for their precious
materials, precision techniques and, often, for their
abstraction.
Maestro Poli’s creativity soon meant that he was
surrounded with professionals and craftsmen who,
together with him, grew with the same awareness
experimenting new artistic expressions.
The design studio
Maestro Albano Poli, with all his great skills, began his
work alone but he was soon joined by his son Paolo
beginning a journey together that led to opening
a design studio where their ideas are thrown into
the melting pot and are compared, revised and
corrected until they reach their final, essential but
ever complete outcome.
