Venice has always prided itself on its glamorous and exclusive style, and the term Venetian has been associated with beauty and opulence for centuries. The quality of the Venetian style has softened the divide that traditionally seperated arts from crafts.

In the city on the lagoon, where famous paniters such as Titian, Tintoretto, Guardi and Tiepolo made Venetian scenes famous throughout the world, other, lesser known but equally important workshops contributed to the excellence of Venetian arts and crafts. With their creativity and excellent taste, master craftsmen gave shape to a variety of materials. Stone, wood, iron, bronze, gold, silver, glass, ceramic, stucco, cloth, and leather turn into masterpieces of unique beauty and perfection in the hands of expert Venetian artisans.
