About Prof. Emanuele Normanno Raffi
Mr. Raffi was born in San Remo, Italy, and raised in Rome, the eternal city. A professional since the age of 11, he has enjoyed an extremely rewarding artistic career.
After graduating from the academy of fine arts, Rome's oldest, he soon developed professional relationships with museums, galleries, and private collectors. He was selected as chief designer by the governor of the Knights of Malta, Prince Arnaldo Petrucci, and by the governor of the Knights of Jerusalem, Count Ugo Ugolini, to illustrate their respective universal statutes.
In the United States, he was employed as full-time designer by the Judson Studio, one of the oldest and most celebrated stained glass companies in the country. At Judson, he completed major projects for churches and designed the sandblast sculpted project of glass panels at the Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
After Emanuele Designs was established in Los Angeles in 1984, Sylvester Stallone commissioned an etched glass dining table portraying Bridgette Nielson. Other Hollywood celebrities, including Hugh Hefner, Jack Lemmon, Donna Mills, and the Smothers Brothers, also came to appreciate his creativity and determination to respond to their high expectations.

"The underlying secret of all fast-growing enterprises in America is, in my view, the consistent determination to provide the highest quality, the best prices, and especially in this field, as I have learned, very fast delivery."
