Murano is an island of the Venice Lagoon, located northeast of Venice, along the channel Marani. Like Venice itself, the reality is composed of seven smaller islands, of which two of artificial origin (Sacca and Sacca Serenella San Martin), divided by canals and rii and linked by bridges. It is totally urbanized (excluding S. Sacca Mattia still cleaning up) and I live about 5,500 people. The place is known throughout the world for the old craft of glass. The art of glass
In 1295 it decreed that the glass of Venice, probably already active before the thousand, were transferred to Murano because the furnaces of the laboratories were often responsible for disastrous fires, which became particularly serious because, at the buildings were mostly wooden. However, documents and ancient artefacts testify that the industry had been rooted on the island for some time.
Concentrate in Murano glass served the Serenissima to better monitor the activity, jealous of an art that was made famous throughout the world from the beginning. The master glass makers were forced to live on the island and could not leave Venice without a special permit. Many, however, managed to flee abroad by exporting their famous techniques. The most important crisis that hit the industry was that of the fifteenth century when they began the manufacture of crystals of Bohemia, perhaps inspired by the same glass from Murano. Venice it came out, especially since the glass was used for the production of chandeliers, still among the best-known manufactures of Murano.
Only the master glass makers, among non-noble, could marry the daughters of noblemen. The Republic in fact, issued a decree, following the riots that occurred in the Greater Council of Murano, Murano citizens stated that only those who were born on the island or had purchased property in the same. In 1602, the mayor Barbarigo in the census of the islanders use to compile a Book of Gold. The procedure for obtaining the registration was neither simple nor short and it was only with the consent of the Republic. Who was not writing he could not play any type of work in glass, not participating councils and not received all the other privileges granted to citizens Murano.
