Murano

is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy.

Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and the destruction of the city’s mostly wooden buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291.

Murano glass is still associated with Venetian glass
