Venice: City of Glass and Masks


What leather is to Florence, masks and glass are to Venice.

The masks come from the tradition of the Venetian Carnival. The glass comes from the Isle of Murano.

While visiting Venice I purchased a Murano glass ring (below) and a unique mask. It is important to shop around while in Venice because there are lots of glass shops, it is best to compare prices and styles before purchasing.

Happy Shopping!
