Murano was home to the world's greatest glass makers for centuries. It's one of the many sites of Venice you need to visit.
Murano, a cluster of islands in Venice, was the home of the world’s most celebrated glass makers for centuries. Initially learning glass making from Syria and other Middle Eastern artisans, Venetian glass makers broke new ground in design and manufacturing, and in 1291 Venice made all of them move just outside the city’s then-limits to Murano. Once there their skill and innovation made Murano Europe’s recognized leader in glass until the dawn of the 1800s.
Here’s how important glass was to Murano: its glassmasters weren’t allowed to move away, so as to keep their secrets and techniques from spreading elsewhere. They were also some of the few Venetian citizens allowed to bear swords, and were exempt from prosecution, which seems like a pretty good recipe for aof glass-related murder.
Venice can be overwhelming to tourists. It’s a relatively small city but it’s jampacked with amazing, one-of-a-kind activities and sites, and it could be very easy to miss out on something like Murano. Fortunately my best friend, constant traveling companion, and wife is a big glass fan, and had this at the top of her to-do list during our trip to Venice.
Let’s get more specific, though. Here are five reasons you should visit Murano whenever you’re in Venice.As I said, Murano was Europe’s undisputed glass capital for roughly half of the second millennium. Murano claims that its artisans made several crucial developments in the history of glassmaking, including aventurine glass , as well as the creation of the first clear glass.
