Immediately after the war, the Boschi Glassworks intensified experiments
to find the formula for lead crystal, and these were carried out in the
'Fabbrichina': in 1946 the firm succeeded in producing a mixture with
15-16% lead oxide.

These were years of economic recovery, as proven by the increase in the
number of employees: from 105 in 1942, numbers reached 625 in 1950.

In those years the two factories dedicated their efforts to the production of
window panes - a national law forced the producers of hollow glass to dedicate
part of their production to the creation of glass sheeting which was vital to
reconstruction - hand blown using the so-called 'cylinder' system.
