It was the last day of our Italian adventure and my husband had gone off to explore on his own leaving me to lose myself in the streets of Venice. I was nearly back at the hotel when I came across the wonderful art of Mauro in his little studio. I was speechless on realising that the shells in the... More

A true artist. Loves what he does and it shows through in every piece he creates. Call to set up a time to visit him creating beautiful art. He does not pressure you to buy anything but it's worth every penny if you do. Plan on spending 30 minutes there. A must see! More

This little art shop is not too far from the Rialto bridge. I Thought it would be a good change from the usual commercial tourist trap glass factories and came here instead. But I would recommend not putting it on the agendain addition and not instead of the glass factory tour. Easy to find, once you get there you forget... More

We just returned from our trip to Venice and one of our highlights was certainly meeting Mauro, watching him work and listening to him speak. He literally brought tears to my eyes (I don't think he saw me). I myself am a graphic designer and when I saw and heard the artistic passion in Mauro, it really hit home and... More

My husband and I visited Mauro's shop on March 29th and had a wonderful experience. Mauro is very friendly and certainly talented and you can spend some time going through all the different masterpieces and treasures he has setup for you to peruse. I had emailed him pictures of our two dogs in advance, in hopes of having him make... More

We had the pleasure of visitng Mauro's studio and watched him create wonders in glass. His shells are exquisite, and now four of them have become our treasures. As well as being an amazing, dedicated artist; he is also a man of great heart and integrity. We visited his studio twice and as a special bonus, we got to see... More

My husband sought out Artigianato d'Arte di Vianello Mauro based on other reviews. I really wanted to have a nice artistic souvenir by a Venetian artist. (not a Chinese import). The door was hard to open and we thought that he had closed or was at lunch, and if my husband hadn't looked in the front we might have missed... More

A man with skilled hands and warm heart. Visiting him was not only a lesson in the Murno art of glass but also the famous Italian warmth and hospitality. More

We arrived at his studio late in the afternoon but he was very pleased to welcome us. His glass artwork is stunning and we just could not make up our minds on what to ask him to make for us. Such a skillful man, we were impressed on how quick and precise his movements were when he was making a... More
