In the 1950s, Polio's most active period, he developed a style of \"submerged\" glass, a technique that involves superimposing different layers of glass with varying consistencies and colors. His Sommerso series of blown glass pieces received the Compasso d'Oro award in 1954. Throughout his career, he won five Grand Prix at the Milan Triennales. His designs were also presented at several editions of the Venice Biennale, as well as at the Brussels World's Fair. Poli left Seguso in 1963 and, between 1964 and 1966, directed the art glass division of the Società Veneziana di Conterie e Cristallerie.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePoli died in 1984 in Venice.
