VENICE: VAPORETTO (BOAT) RIDE to the beautiful island of MURANO ⛴️
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go to the beautiful city of Venice in Italy and let's enjoy the views from a vaporetto (boat) ride from the hectic Saint Mark square to the beautiful island of Murano. The whole ride took about 30 minutes.
Venice, the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. It has no roads, just canals – including the Grand Canal thoroughfare – lined with Renaissance and Gothic palaces. The central square, Piazza San Marco, contains St. Mark’s Basilica, which is tiled with Byzantine mosaics, and the Campanile bell tower offering views of the city’s red roofs.
Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine. Its capital, Rome, is home to the Vatican as well as landmark art and ancient ruins. Other major cities include Florence, with Renaissance masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s David and Brunelleschi's Duomo; Venice, the city of canals; and Milan, Italy’s fashion capital.

Venice, capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, is built on more than 100 small islands in a marshy lagoon in the Adriatic Sea. Its stone palaces seemingly rise out of the water.

How to get to Murano Island | Gondola glass-making demo | Venice ITALY
If you are planning to go to Venice soon, going to Murano has to be in your list and most especially Burano.
Murano is very popular for the production of artistic glass products that's why it is also called the glass island.
My Burano video - the most colourful island in Venice will be uploaded next - please subscribe if you wanna watch this too. :)
Murano, Italy - Comet Glass Star by Simone Cenedese HD (2015)
Murano is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy. It lies about 1.5 kilometres (0.9 miles) north of Venice and measures about 1.5 km (0.9 mi) across with a population of just over 5,000 (2004 figures). It is famous for its glass making. It was once an independent comune, but is now a frazione of the comune of Venice.

Alilaguna Linea Verde- Isole Murano, Burano e Torcello
We sail past the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the S. Elena Gardens and the Lido Island, making our first stop at Murano, renowned the world over for its glassware and factories.
The second stop is the island of Burano, known not only for its lacemaking but also the brightly-coloured fishermens cottages.
From here, its just a ten-minute sail across the sandbanks to Torcello, the first settlement in the venetian lagoon.

Costeggiando l'isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, i giardini di S.Elena ed il Lido di Venezia famoso per le sue spiagge, si arriva a Murano, celebre in tutto il mondo per le sue vetrerie e le sue fornaci dove è prevista la prima sosta.
La seconda fermata sarà effettuata all'isola di Burano, famosa oltre che per la lavorazione del merletto anche per le abitazioni dei pescatori dai vivaci colori.
Da qui in dieci minuti di navigazione attraverso le barene, si raggiunge Torcello, centro della prima civiltà dell'estuario. La cattedrale con i suoi magnifici mosaici e la chiesa di santa Fosca del XI-XII secolo rimangono a testimoniare l'antico splendore.

Venice, Water Bus Ride on Grand Canal to Murano Islands
The best, most fun way to get around Venice and its many islands is to buy a water bus pass. Ride anywhere you want for 48 hours for about 30 Euros. Well worth the small investment because you will expand your reach exponentially and be able to visit places which are less crowded with tourists. I filmed the boat ride with a Firefly 6S camera mounted on a gimbal for stabilization. More about the camera here:

VENETIAN GLASS MOSAICS 1860-1917
VENETIAN GLASS MOSAICS 1860-1917
SHELDON BARR Book Number: 74260 Product format: Hardback
The mosaics of Venetian manufacturers are now, quite rightly, treasured for the splendid masterpieces they are, and it is they that form the subject of this richly illustrated and very highly informative volume. But, tragically, this was not always the case. The 1850s found Venice in a deplorable state. For instance, the condition of the antique mosaic decoration of the virtually abandoned Basilica of San Marco was alarming. The mosaics were literally falling from the façades, walls and domes. Fragments from both San Marco and Santa Maria Assunta on Torcello were being detached and sold to wealthy tourists. A lawyer called Antonio Salviati, who came from a modest background but had an appreciation of creative art, was horrified by the decline of the noble arts of glass and mosaic making and was determined to bring them back to life. He found two similarly inspired allies, the Muranese abbot and glass historian Vincenzo Zanetti and the Mayor of Murano, Antonio Colleoni, who wanted to resurrect the moribund industries in order to provide much-needed employment for the people of his island. This compelling account relates how these three men set about revitalizing a number of industries which, in the past, had been sources of both great wealth and pride. The recovered art of Venetian glass mosaics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is now seen as one of the most important aesthetic achievements of the Victorian/Edwardian era. Neglected and under-appreciated for decades, surviving mosaics are now being cleaned and restored worldwide. This superb volume records many of their splendours, such as the amazing mural depicting Aurora and Cephalus on the vault of the avant-foyer of the Opéra Garnier, Paris, and the glorious maritime façade of the Palazzo Barbarigo Stabilimento Venice, and is a book to cherish. 143 pages 30.5cm x 24.5cm very lavishly illustrated in absolutely dazzling colour with list of illustrated examples of the mosaic makers' work.
