Having been established as a hub of glassmaking in the 13th century, the islands have embraced this history well throughout the years \u2013 and, even today, is still one of the most populated areas of niche experts when it comes to many forms of glassmaking.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that glassmakers used to be considered the islands most prominent citizens in the 14th century?<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the history and process of glassmaking by visiting the Glass museum or a Venetian glass-blowing demonstration. Or, if that\u2019s not your style for a holiday, treat yourself to a nice glass (or bottle!) of wine and enjoy the view! The beauty and intricacy of the islands is reflected in the glass that\u2019s produced \u2013 and boy, is it stunning.<\/p>\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might not think of Murano when you think of glass \u2013 but you should.
