Murano
in 1291, the Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano because the glassworks represented a fire danger in Venice, whose buildings were mostly wooden at the time and in order to preserved its craftmanship. If today a non compete agreement would most likely be ebough, back then Glassmakers weren't allowed to leave the area. Risking being assassinated or having their hands cut off. Murano is slowly dying and visitors (once probably considered spies) are welcome. Photography or filming may be forbidden in some showrroms in a last attempts to preserve an industry under siege. A visit to Murano will only take a couple of hours of your day if you wish to see one of the last remaining glass masters in action during the week.
