THE GLASS BEADS OF VENICE

The art of glass beads is officially the intangible cultural heritage of Humanity

This was established in recent days by the Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage

The candidacy was filed by Italy and France

and proposed for the Italian side by the Community of Venetian pearls, represented by the Committee for the Safeguarding of the Art of Venetian Glass Pearls

and for the French part by the Community of French pearls, represented by the Association des Perliers d’art de France

For the city of Venice this is the first registration of an intangible element in the UNESCO List

The art of glass beads is closely linked to the wealth of knowledge and mastery of a material, glass, and of an element, fire

This art brings together shared knowledge and incorporated techniques, refers to particular artisan procedures and tools and includes different processing stages
