Venice: craftsmanship at its FINEST

Designed by Matteo Gabrielli

Venice is one of the world’s most iconic places: who hasn’t marvelled at images of its islands, palaces, canals, churches and gondolas? Behind the scenes craftsmen have been working for centuries to make it all possible. Walls, floors, domes, boats, and accessories – all made in Venice. Centuries-old traditions still thrive in the narrow alleys and young professionals build on those same traditions to spread the city’s beauty of Venice throughout the world with their new creations. Enter the magical world of the workshops and meet some truly unique artisans.
