Murano Vetreria Rossetto Estevan and other Venice, Italy Off The Beaten Path Tips

The only reason to visit Murano is just to buy murano. There is nothing else of interest in this island. Nice shops and wonders of murano stuff like art glass, ancient and modern style glass, glass sculptures, ornamental items, mirrors, table glass, chandeliers.....and much more. We visited Vetreria Rossetto Estevan (one of the most fashionable Murano's Vetreria). As you can see from this photo I bought 6 interesting pieces of a Murano collection and my friend bought 5 pieces (by the way...the white cow in the middle belongs to me as well) :) The gentleman in the photos is the manager or the director of this Vetreria and he was very helpful and gentle. He stayed with us patiently explaining all that various material of his murano collection. He accompanied us to watch the glass blowers as well. It was very interesting and nice as you can see from the photos i chose for you.

Contrary to Venice, Burano is a very quiet and relaxing island! It's more like a typical village with it's lovely vivid coloured houses all different from each other. As soon as we arrived there we fell in love with this small island or village! The village people are so friendly and they seem that they have stopped the time their by 50 years or more!!!!! The island is famous for its wonderful lace and the restaurants there, offers the tourist delicious fresh seafood. When you're passing by it's easily that you get cought by the pleasant smell of their cooking specialities of fish! mmmmmmhhhh ...I still can smell it right now!

While we were making our fantastic gondola tour, our gondolier showed us the House of Casanova! We did not know we where going to pass infront of Casanova's House and that was a big surprise for us! :) The same was when he showed us the house of Marco Polo! FANTASTIC! Two surprises better than one!!!!! :))) Hip hip for our gondolier man! :)) Make sure that you ask yours to indicate you the houses so you can take a picture as well! Here you can see the photos of these 2 famous houses and us with our gondolier hero! haha
