What is the famous Italian glass?
The famous Italian glass is Murano glass. It is a clear silica glass that typically features vibrant colors. Murano glass is named for the island of Murano, which is located in Venice's fragile lagoon. A number of artisans and glassworks on the island produce lighting and decorative objects.
