 | | On the island of Murano, (which was the glass center of the Venetian industry), glassmakers were considered "royalty," and had certain democratic privileges, but in exchange for such titles and privileges, the government in an attempt to protect the secrets of the glass trade, imprisoned and confined these glassmakers to the Island of Murano. | | | If one of these workmen attempted to leave the island to practice their craft elsewhere, they were condemned to death for treachery. | | | Eventually, I felt "restrained" and began feeling as if I were a prisoner on this island. |

| | Murano Glass - Island of Murano - Venice for Visitors |
| | But there was a time when the trade of glassblowing--indeed, glassmaking in general--was dominated by an elite group of craftsmen in the Venetian Republic, most notably on the island of Murano. | | | Artisans were granted the right to wear swords and enjoyed immunity from prosecution by the notoriously high-handed Venetian state. | | | Then, in 1291, the Venetian Republic ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano because the glassworks represented a fire danger in Venice, whose buildings were mostly wooden at the time. |
