Ever since 1291, when the Doge of Venice moved all the Venetian furnaces to Murano to safeguard Venice from the danger of the open fires, the island has become renowned for its glass artistry, long valued by rulers and nobles the world over. For more than a millennium, the true value of the island of Murano can be found in the knowledge, the “state secrets,” the skill and the sensitivity of its glass-makers, all of whom innately understand the fragility of their materials and the heat of the furnace fire, born as a result of traditions handed down for centuries. OroVetro Murano itself was established in 1998 by Venetian entrepreneurs Manuel Tarlà and Davide Vianello. The duo set up the brand with a vision to select and produce exclusive objets d’art, all made using the traditional techniques of Murano glass-making, and its furnace has been used in the production of artistic glass since 1400. The very best of the Murano masters have all worked here, honing their craft working with a furnace that, at its hottest, burns with an intensity of 1200 degrees Celsius. The purity of their work and the harmony of the details in each piece all translate into extremely high-quality artefacts that OroVetro Murano continues to produce to this day, respecting the glass-making traditions of old. The company offers individual products and collections composed of new design chandeliers, tableware, interiors accessories and sculptures that are suspended between their timeless allure and a new contemporary elegance.To organise a truly unforgettable event, OroVetro Murano’s dedicated staff are on-hand to offer advice and arrange visits to the furnace, be it for a large-scale fully-immersive event with live entertainment, or a fine dining experience by the furnace.

We build and activate brands through cultural insight, strategic vision, and the power of emotion across every element of its expression.

Boat ride in our beatiful lagoon heading to Mazzorbo island (approx 25 minutes)

Mazzorbo is one of the most charming and least-known islands of the Venetian lagoon, a small gem where time seems to flow more slowly. Connected to Burano by a picturesque wooden bridge, Mazzorbo offers a haven of peace, far from the usual tourist routes — the perfect destination for those seeking the most authentic side of Venice.
The island is marked by vegetable gardens, vineyards, and lush gardens, all testifying to the island’s ancient bond with the land and its agricultural traditions. Visitors can stroll through vineyards where Dorona grapes are grown — a rare native variety that produces an exceptional wine, closely tied to Venice’s history.
With ancient churches, breathtaking views, and the serenity of the lagoon’s natural beauty, Mazzorbo is a place where you can rediscover the charm of simplicity and the authentic soul of a quiet, intimate Venice.

After lunch two steps into the amazing coloured Burano this is just next door, a walk into Burano can last maybe half an hour to one hours.

Burano is one of the most iconic and photographed islands in the Venetian lagoon, world-famous for its colorful houses reflected in the calm waters of its canals. Each brightly painted facade tells a story of fishermen and maritime traditions, making Burano a unique and irresistibly charming destination.
Beyond its picturesque appearance, Burano is also the birthplace of the ancient art of lace-making, a craft passed down through generations, which earned the island international fame as far back as the Renaissance. The island’s lace-makers, with extraordinary patience and skill, create exquisite works of art — delicate masterpieces that embody centuries of history and passion.
Strolling through Burano means immersing yourself in an authentic atmosphere, filled with vibrant colors, the scent of the sea, and traditional artisan workshops, where time seems to stand still to preserve the true soul of the Venetian lagoon.
