"A couple of years ago, I had a Chinese student and we compared notes about China's very old tradition of glass working, which has been practically lost in favour of large-scale production of copies of Murano techniques. This is a paradox according to me, to lose a cultural heritage exclusively for financial gain."

5. Basilica of Saints Maria and Donato
6. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Alessia Fuga, glass bead maker:

18. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Alessandro Moretti, glass bead maker and owner of the Costantini factory:
"Unfortunately, those who are not aware of the tradition or about the craft, who do not know about or what is behind a simple bead, only looks at the cost, and this is damaging for us because many dealers work with just the cost in mind, ignoring the quality."

28. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Ermelinda Damiano, President of Venice City Council:
"It (Venetian beads) represents a priceless heritage. Glass beads are our tradition, our culture, our history. We hope the proposal will meet with success also considering that on March 25, 2021, Venice will celebrate 1,600 years since it was created, and so we hope we will be able to celebrate both events, which will mean a great step forward towards a rebirth after the floods of last November and the pandemic, which is plaguing the whole world. Venice can live again and become a symbol for the whole world."
