Murano is an island in the lagoon of Venice, famous for his glass art. The production of glass lamps and is linked to its history. His name is always associated with the glass, as if they were two synonyms.

Their gestures may seem simple, but they are actually the result of many years of experience, a real school that is handed down from generation to generation in the furnace. Glass, like almost everything, was discovered by chance, seeing that the sand is fused at high temperatures, becoming glass. It seems that the first to become experts in glass melting were the Phoenicians. Since this technique is widespread in the Middle East and the Mediterranean-Egypt. The ancient Romans brought this technique from the East. 

The first Italian factory seems to have been founded in Aquileia, an important and ancient Roman port, that was the crucial point in the trade between Europe and the countries of Eastern Europe. After the fall of the Roman Empire to the West and during the barbarian invasions in Northern Italy, the population of the town of Altino and Aquileia sought refuge in the islands of the Venetian Lagoon. The first settlement that later became the city of Venice was founded towards the end of the fifth century in order to escape the incursions of barbarians. It is therefore due to the invasions of the barbarians that Venice developed and gradually began to fill the role that had been of Aquileia. A bridge between the West and the East, based on trade and maritime superiority.

Through trade with the East, Venice acquired the ability to assimilate foreign cultures and, with them, their advanced manufacturing techniques. Soon became a rich and powerful maritime Republic, with experienced craftsmen in fields such as the weaving of wool, processing of precious metals and glass blowing. We can say with certainty that the influence of Eastern countries contributed in a fundamental way to the development of glass art in Venice. This is why the Murano glass chandeliers are characterized by their sleek forms and their diverse colors.
