Until 6th January 2012

An unmissable exhibition, in which the famous VENETIAN PEARLS will be on show, will be open in the Museo del Vetro [Museum of Glass] on the island of Murano until 6th January 2012.

The market for these glass items was considerable between the 1800s and the 1950s and the pearls were in great demand in distant places such as America and Africa, because they were supposed to ward off bad luck. The exhibition is dedicated to the most famous glass company making these jewels, ERCOLE MORETTI e f.lli, which still exists.
