3The Murano Glass

The island of Murano, located just a short boat ride from Venice, has been a center of glassmaking since the 13th century.

Murano glass is famous for its exceptional quality and artistic beauty. Venetian glassmakers developed innovative techniques such as crystalline glass, enameled glass, and millefiori (thousand flowers) that are still admired and sought after today. Visitors to Murano can explore glass factories, watch artisans at work, and purchase exquisite glass pieces as souvenirs.
