 | Venezia - Isola di San Michele & Murano Murano es normalmente descrita como una isla de la laguna veneciana, aunque como Venecia, es realmente un archipiélago de islas unidas por puentes. Se encuentra aproximadamente a 16 kilómetros de Venecia y es famosa por sus obras en cristal, particularmente por sus lámparas. Murano fue fundada por los romanos, y desde el siglo VI fue habitada por gentes procedentes de Altino y Oderzo. En un principio, la isla prosperó como puerto pesquero y gracias a la producción de sal. Era, asimismo, un centro de comercio. Con el puerto controlaban la isla de Sant'Erasmo. Desde el siglo XI, la ciudad empezó a caer en declive debido a que muchos habitantes se mudaron a Dorsoduro. Tenían un gran ayuntamiento, como el de Venecia, pero desde el siglo XIII Murano ha sido gobernada por un podestà veneciano. A diferencia de otras islas de la laguna, Murano acuñaba sus propias monedas. En 1291, todos los cristaleros de Venecia se vieron forzados a mudarse a Murano debido al riesgo de incendios. Durante el siguiente siglo, las exportaciones comenzaron y la isla ganó fama, inicialmente por la fabricación de abalorios de cristal y de espejos. El cristal aventurine se inventó en la isla y, durante algún tiempo, Murano llegó a ser el mayor productor de cristal de Europa. La isla, más tarde, se hizo conocida por sus arañas de luces. Aunque hubo un importante declive durante el siglo XVIII, la cristalería sigue siendo la industria más importante de la isla. En el siglo XV, la ciudad se hizo popular como lugar de vacaciones de los venecianos, y se construyó un palacio, pero esta moda se pasó más tarde. El campo de la isla era conocido por sus árboles frutales y sus jardines vegetales hasta el siglo XIX, cuando empezaron a construirse más casas. Las atracciones de la isla son la Iglesia de Santa María y San Donato, conocida por sus mosaicos bizantinos del siglo XII y porque se dice que alberga los huesos de un dragón que mató San Donato; la Iglesia de San Pietro Martire y el Palacio da Mula. Las atracciones relacionadas con el cristal incluyen muchas obras en este material, algunas de ellas de la época medieval y que están abiertas al público. Asimismo hay un Museo del Cristal que se encuentra en el Palacio Giustinian. Murano is usually described as an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although like Venice itself it is actually an archipelago of islands linked by bridges. It lies about a mile north of Venice and is famous for its glass making, particularly lampworking. Murano was settled by the Romans, then from the sixth century by people from Altino and Oderzo. At first, the island prospered as a fishing port and through production of salt. It was also a centre for trade, through the port it controlled on Sant'Erasmo. From the eleventh century, it began to decline as islanders moved to Dorsoduro. It had a Grand Council, like that of Venice, but from the thirteenth century Murano was ultimately governed by a podestà from Venice. Unlike the other islands in the Lagoon, Murano minted its own coins. In 1291, all the glassmakers in Venice were forced to move to Murano due to the risk of fires. In the following century, exports began, and the island became famous, initially for glass beads and mirrors. Aventurine glass was invented on the island, and for a while Murano was the main producer of glass in Europe. The island later became known for chandeliers. Although decline set in during the eighteenth century, glassmaking is still the island's main industry. In the fifteenth century, the island became popular as a resort for Venetians, and palaces were built, but this later declined. The countryside of the island was known for its orchards and vegetable gardens until the nineteenth century, when more housing was built. Attractions on the island include the Church of Santa Maria e San Donato, known for its twelfth century Byzantine mosaic pavement and said to house the bones of the dragon slain by Saint Donatus, the Church of San Pietro Martire with his splendid chapel of the Ballarin family build in 1503 and the Palazzo da Mula. Glass-related attractions include the many glassworks, some Mediaeval and most open to the public, and the Glass Museum, housed in the large Palazzo Giustinian.
