Like all tourists, we went to Murano to see and buy Venetian Glass. What we really wanted to see was the glass being made and this was possible, with a flourish at Formia Fornace. Tourists were encouraged to wander through, but on the outside looking in, the glass blowing factory. Artisans were making all sorts of different pieces from scratch... More
