A meticulous exploration of the art of lampwork glass beads in Venice, tracing its evolution from the 19th century to the present day. The journey begins with the serendipitous discovery of hundreds of beads buried in the soil of a garden. This book is both a compelling narrative and a rigorously documented study — a tribute to the beads themselves and to the impiraresse, the women who once strung them with extraordinary skill.
