Montagne di vetro

Mountains of glass 

In the summer of 2009 12 students and 3 teachers of the school for glass-art “Vetroricerca” travelled from the italian city of Bolzano to Latin America.

Their destination was Chacas. A city, 3.500m above sea level, in the center of the peruvian Andes. They stayed there for a whole month and build, together with local students, a new window for the regions biggest church.
