During this half-day trip, I will accompany you discovering the most beautiful Lagoon's islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello on board of the most strange typologies of bus around all the world: the Vaporetto! best friend of every Venetian since 1905, when was starting its unbeatable service! At first We will visit the world famous Murano, where the last 20 families are still producing our amazing glass masterpieces since and like 1000 years ago! Thanks the friendly collaborations of the Mazzucatto's family we will explore their Glass Factory and Gallery seeing Masters working! At what about the second amazing trip to Burano, the fashinating colorful town, fishers community famous for its millenial lacemaking industry? You will see one of the last Lace Factory called "Da Martina" where the last old lacers are still doing this very ancient handmade tradition! I'm sure: You'll love them! Finally We'll explore Torcello, 17 century ago the first Venice community. Today the last 9 locals are still living inside a "dark ages city" where everything is like a lot of centuries ago.. Inside their Romanic Basilic you will enjoy a stunning view of the same Universal Judgment mosaic saw by Dante before his "Comedy"! PS: I really suggest to take your lunch time in Burano, where is made one of the best sea-food cuisine of Europe ;) (24h VAPORETTO TICKET IS NOT INCLUDED _ IT IS COSTING 20e)

I workshops consistono in due ore di lavoro e divertimento divisi in due parti. La prima prevede l'uso di una piastra trasparente in vetro dove gli ospiti realizzeranno una figura con pezzi di vetro di Murano, chiamati graniglia, che verrà poi cucinato in forno. Il vetro si fonderà e la figura realizzata rimarrà all'ospite. La seconda parte, consiste in una fase dimostrativa da parte del Maestro e successivamente una prova pratica degli ospiti della lavorazione del vetro di Murano. Gli ospiti lavoreranno il vetro con la fiamma e proveranno la piacevole sensazione dell'antica lavorazione a lume. I workshop sono ideali anche per famiglie con bambini sopra ai 6 anni, che adoreranno la magia del vetro. Altre cose da tenere a mente I lavori terminati nella prima parte del workshop, verranno cotti nel forno per circa 6 ore e consegnati il giorno stesso o successivo in accordo con i clienti, mentre per la lavorazione a lume le creazioni potranno essere ritirate il giorno stesso, dopo circa 2 ore dal termine. Durata Workshop: 2 ore.

The workshop starts with a brief explanation of the history of masks in Venice, focusing on the historically most significant models: the Commedia dell’Arte masks, the “Bauta” the “Moretta” and the “Dottore della Peste”. After this introduction into the incredible world of Venetian masks, we pass on to introduce you to the main techniques we use in our craft when decorating the masks. We will give you the right tips and inside knowledge, so that you can pass on to test your skills as the perfect mask maker. Our expert mask makers have prepared a wide range of paper-mache masks for you to choose from; traditional venetian masks, modern carnival masks, commedia dell’arte, big, small, we will be there to help and assist you to choose the model you would like to work on and advise you on which technique that fits best. There will of course be time to ask all the questions you would like, and we are happy to share our knowledge and introduce you to this antique venetian craft. Explanations will of course be adjusted according to age and interests of the participants.

[If the starting time of this experience is not ok for you, write me] (read down for the GONDOLA) - I wanna take you in those must have spots, where Venice spreads all its fascinating beautifulness! The idea is that of having a photoshoot of your vacation while I show you secret/famous spots of Venice. - Meanwhile, I can show you the city with an amazing perspective. I'm a Philosopher with a bachelor and a master, and I know the history of my city and lot of juicy curiosities! It's not an official tour, but the honest point of view of a local. - I'll send you 35+ photos, edited and colored after our session. Feed your social media profile with high quality contents or print them! I will send them to you VERY SOON, in HQ, through WeTransfer (or even WhatsApp if it's better for you). - Gondola is an extra service: I have gondoliers friends, so if you want we can start a gondola trip from very traditional spots of Venice, out of crowded areas, avoiding lot of traffic jam and tourists. Taste the old and silent TRUE side of Venice, where just birds and waves will be our soundtrack. I strongly suggest this trip, in order to bring at home a memory that will remain in your heart forever and in order to put more photos inside the album. (As I don't work for gondoliers, the price of the Gondola is obviously not included. Ask me for this service, it's cheap and worthwhile) Other things to note Undecided on your dresses? Colors are in tune with Venice. In the way, we can stop in a bar to quickly drink a coffee and change the outfit.
