Glasses, lamps and soufflé glass trinkets. If you bring them a drawing, they will repeat for you the object of your dreams, according to the traditional techniques of the master Glass of Murano.

Lidia's laces are certainly among the finest in the lagoon. An art that Lidia herself learned from her grandmother, at a time when all the young girls of Burano mastered the technique. In the back room you will find a superb collection of antique lace from the 16th to the 20th century. An exhibition that rivals that of the nearby lace museum, but is only inferior in size. Note the pocket handkerchief with the N of Napoleon that belonged to the emperor and the series of fans with such a fine design

If big names like Venini or Barovier & Toso are to glassware what Chanel or Armani are to fashion, Mazzega would be the equivalent of one of the best tailors whose reputation is only transmitted by word of mouth. Glassware, vases, lighting fixtures and mirrors with chiselled contours are blown and shaped with the greatest know-how. A visit to the kiln is also possible on reservation; departing from Venice, Mazzega will send its own boat to pick you up and bring you back.

Murano's largest (and most expensive) glassmaker, whose outlets have been exported all over the world, never ceases to create pieces with simply perfect aesthetic qualities. Great Italian designers such as Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti and Gio Ponti have participated in the creation of the latest works, vases with elegant lines and sparkling colors. At number 50 of Fondamenta Vetrai, you will find the exhibition of the collection models. A real art gallery... The store is located at number 47.

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.
