Күн бұрынEveryone has heard of the glass workshops on the Venetian Island of Murano, but are they worth visiting? DAVID BECKHAM was just at this glass studio in June, 2022! We also compare staying in Murano vs staying in central Venice.

We've saved our favorite Venice day trip island for last - Murano! We didn't just day trip there - we stayed there. Our tour guide in central Venice highly recommended touring Massimiliano Schiavon Art Team's factory on Murano. The art of blowing glass in their workshops is incredible. We thought it would be really touristy, but it wasn't at all (at least not the one we went to!). These glass artists are true craft workers!
We also visit the main cathedral on Murano - the one with the long name (Basilica of Saint Mary and Saint Donatus). We have it all to ourselves! The mosaic tile floors here are amazing!
We also discuss whether YOU should stay in Murano or central Venice, and try to put into words why we love Venice the way we do.

Have you watched the show Blown Away? If not, you should. It's a glass blowing competition show, similar to the British Bake-Off, for glass blowers. Loved your video! When large Chihuly chandeliers and towers are taken apart and sent for instillation somewhere else, it isn't sent with instructions of how the pieces go together. I'm guessing the large works you saw are similar. I think that's wild, but it's part of the art experience!

Oh, I will look up that show - thanks!! The whole glass tour was so much better than we expected it to be!

Amazing! Did you have to book the tour in advance? Or could you book one on site?

If you're staying on Murano, you could chance just stopping by, but to be safe, I would recommend calling ahead to book a tour - it's worth it!

Have you ever heard of Dale Chihuly? He is an American glass blower par excellence, has a SCHOOL for glass blowing called the Pilchuk School in Portland OR, and has done a televised special on his time in Murano working on a collab with the Italian glass blowers…..the art of glass blowing is very difficult but it is NOT dead worldwide. Maybe in Murano it has become challenging, but one must be very special to blow glass there!

That is in Washington not Portland. It’s about an hour north of Seattle.

When you mentioned a funeral, my first thought was where do they bury people? Now I’ll have to investigate.

Looked it up, there is a cemetery on one of the islands. After 12 years the graves are reopened and the bones are distributed elsewhere.

I was surprised to see the gentleman in the video wearing a baseball cap backwards. That is supposed to be a dead giveaway that you are an American. And quite frankly, it isn't a good look. But I loved your video.
@TalesFromOurPocket Жыл бұрын
I'm sure there are multiple ways that we stand out as Americans. 😂 He turns his baseball style cap around for light reasons when he's being recorded. If he wears it facing forward, it creates too much of a shadow on his face (which isn't a good look either 😉). We chose the lesser of two evils! Glad you otherwise enjoyed the video!

No pandemic and you are recording this video wearing a mask? No one else there is wearing one, so why are you? Makes this video unwatchable. I would have loved to watch this, but will have to pass.

This video was filmed in summer of 2021, very soon after European countries started reopening, and we followed local mask regulations of the time.
