Venice, in addition to being a city of art, has always been a place of craftsmanship and creative talent. For more than a millennium, the skilled hands of Venetian master craftsmen have created precious and refined creations: mosaics, glass, lace, fabrics, jewelry and perfumes. Even nowadays in Venice there are ancient shops that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Next to innovative boutiques and concept stores, there are craft shops where masterpieces in glass, pearls, gold, paper and leather continue to exist, and even ateliers of masks and historical costumes, artistic furnaces, tailors and ancient weaving, carpentry and artistic screen printing workshops, art printing and graphic studios where you can find unique and perfect products for your gifts.
