Home decoration and garden stores Veneto

Welcome to the kingdom of quality craftsmanship. According to an ancestral know-how, the owner of the place works all kinds of objects from beautiful and old papers: small and large notebooks, pencil cases, pockets, small purses, notepads, old lithographs... and even earrings in the shape of books! The colours chosen (yellow, green, orange, red, purple, blue) enhance many objects, themselves sublimated by typical Venetian motifs (inspired by the architecture of palaces, arches, cross-warping).

An enchantment, this glass factory. We find it at the end of a long alley. The business is a family one, run by Raffaele, his brother Mauro and his sister Claudia, forty-somethings who have succeeded their father, who founded the company in 1989. The workshop is located on the first floor. You may have the chance to observe these craftsmen at work. They work the glass with a blowtorch, shape it, decorate it, then place it in the oven before letting it rest. Meanwhile, on the first floor, the store welcomes customers who have come to purchase their subtle and exquisite works.

In Piazza dei Signori, in front of the Palladian Basilica, a sumptuous store where fabrics of all kinds and colors dress the shelves and various displays with a grandiose brilliance and a meticulous order. At Manpreso, we specialize above all in artisanal know-how, in handmade sewing, in the making of custom-made outfits for women and men. The other activity of this family business is the marketing of a range of select leather goods.

The production of the Chioggia pipe is one of the proudest crafts of the Veneto region. Its design is the result of a very old know-how whose first testimonies date back to the seventeenth century. Today, unfortunately, there is only one piparo left.It is Giorgio Boscolo Femek. With a passion for the craft, he likes to share the secret of shaping his ceramic, wood and clay pipes, which he offers in a variety of colors. Their finely sculpted end most often represents a man's or woman's head.
