MURANO AT LEISURE
A leisurely morning spent on Murano island will be the occasion for an immersion in the fabled history of its glassmakers. Officially initiated at the end of the 13th century the tradition of blowing and shaping glass made the international fame of this island. Still today, notwithstanding the threats of globalization, authentic Murano glass means quality and beauty. The island itself has lovely views and its own character.
With the assistance of your guide, you will be able, Mondays through Fridays, to attend the production and learn the basics about this ancient technology. Picture-taking is allowed! On request, you will then have the opportunity of browsing around a row of spectacular rooms, without haste or obligations to purchase, and with the chance of posing all your questions about the different artists, techniques, trends, and styles.
If you are then still in the mood of experiencing further glassmaking, we could head to a more contemporary and glamorous workshop. Or instead, if you prefer to spend some time outdoors,
