Micheluzzi was educated in classical studies, then later studied art history at the university of Venice, Ca’ Foscari. He was introduced to the world of glass by the Venini family. In 1993, he began collaborating with another Venetian artist, Laura de Santillana, and within a few years he was producing works of his own. In 1998 he had his first exhibition at Blanchaert, in Milan. Since then, he has exhibited in cities all over the world. His work is constantly evolving as he studies new techniques and ways of working with color.
