This tour includes a visit to a glass factory showroom where you will be told about the origins of the Art of gloss blowing which dates back to the Roman Empire, and how - in the 13th Century - the island of Murano became the center of glass making when the Venetian Republic ordered that all glass fondies of the City should be constructed in Murano in order to protect Venice wood buildings from fire.

Soon Murano glass makers became the most important citizens of the island, and inthe ages they refined their techniques thanks to the trading ofthe Venetian Republic with all the Middle and Far East countries which had ancient tradition in glass making.

Following this introduction you will assist at a demonstration by a Master Artisan that using the traditional old style techniques of Glass blowing will create for you a unique glass item.

At the end of the tour each of the participants will receive a small glass gift as a souvenir of this unforgettable visit.
