I visit Vetreria Artistica Colleoni, where glassblowers work in front of open flames, shaping delicate vases, intricate chandeliers, and impossibly thin glass figurines. Watching them work is mesmerizing—it takes just minutes to transform molten glass into something beautiful, but years of training to master the craft.
After Murano, we take the vaporetto to Burano, a small fishing island that looks like it was painted with a box of crayons. Every house is a different shade—bright yellows, deep blues, and fiery reds—originally painted that way so fishermen could spot their homes even in thick fog. The island is also famous for its handmade lace, a craft that dates back to the 1500s.
