Here is an excellent piece written by Vittorio Zappa on glass history.

Having spent a good deal of my life studying and working with stained glass I have always had immense appreciation for blown glass. From 2022-23 I was fortunate to reside in Venice and made the boat ride to Morano quite often. The museum there contains works by the artists highlighted here.

In going around the island, one can still see some of the burned down factories where the fires could not be contained.
