This year’s seventh edition of ‘’Murano-Istanbul: A Glass Making Journey” will be exploring the influences between Murano and Spanish /Catalan glass production. We will be considering the aftermath of the Battle of Lepanto War (1571) both as a major shift of Ottoman glass imports from Murano to Bohemia and the Holy League’s Atlantic alliance inducing a new world order.
Speakers:
Prof. Vera Costantini, University Ca’ Foscari of Venice
