Il a enseigné à son fils Florino (le père de Cesare) les techniques qui le feront devenir à son tour un Maître verrier à l’âge de 17 ans, chez Venini.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Cesare Toffolo, maître verrier à Murano :

Il perdit son père deux ans plus tard, mais il continua à perfectionner sa technique. Il est parvenu ainsi à la même reconnaissance que Florino,  très apprécié à Murano.
