The story … my good friend Dante and I recently went on a top secret mission to Murano. The mission: to help Lino Tagliapietra with the making of the glass ampule that would house the flame for the 2026 Olympic closing ceremony. It was the thrill and honor of a lifetime to work on the coolest project that I could imagine, but even better to spend time with some of my favorite people on earth, doing what we love. Here’s a few pics from our epic week on Murano earlier this year.
