In 1291 werden alle glasblazers uit Venetië gedwongen om te verhuizen naar Murano, vanwege het brandrisico. Ook werd wel gezegd dat het de bedoeling was de geheimen van het glasblazen op die manier beter te beveiligen. Op straffe des doods was het glasblazers verboden om hun kunst door te vertellen; deze mensen leefden als gevangenen op het eiland. Murano werd beroemd om het glaswerk en ook om de spiegels. Ook werd op Murano het Aventurijnglas uitgevonden. Later werd het eiland beroemd om zijn kandelaars. In de achttiende eeuw nam de industrie af, doordat de glaskunst in Bohemen opkwam. Maar ook aan het begin van de eenentwintigste eeuw is glas nog de belangrijkste industrie op Murano.

Murano
In 1291 all glassblowers from Venice were forced to move to Murano because of the fire risk. It was also said that the intention was to better protect the secrets of glassblowing in this way. On pain of death, glassblowers were forbidden to pass on their art; these people lived as prisoners on the island. Murano became famous for the glassware and also for the mirrors. The Aventurine glass was also invented on Murano. Later the island became famous for its candlesticks. In the eighteenth century, the industry declined as glass art emerged in Bohemia. But even at the beginning of the twenty-first century, glass is still the most important industry on Murano.
