    Located north of Venice, in the lagoon, the island of Murano has been famous since the Middle Ages for its art of glassblowing.

    The activity, essentially turned towards a utilitarian production, took a turn in the 15th century thanks to the invention of "crystallo", also known as crystalline glass, attributed to Angelo Barovier.

    This transparent glass, purified of all slag and of great finesse, was sought after throughout Europe. Murano then took a leading role in the field of glassmaking, and produced refined and luxurious objects for the princely courts.

    This has as a direct consequence, an emulation of European glass factories that try to reproduce the Italian techniques.

    The fall of the Republic of Venice, at the end of the 18th century, led to the decline of the glass industry until its revival, thanks to master glassmakers like Lorenzo Radi, in the second half of the 19th century.

    Finally, the activity began a new turn, from the 1920s, with the abandonment of historicist styles in favor of experimentation leading to a fertile blossoming of contemporary glassware.

    Murano glass tells the story of an ancient art that gives even more prestige to a city like Venice, which has always fascinated for its architecture and for its particularity as a city immersed in a lagoon.
