In 1291, fearing fire and destruction of buildings for the most wooden of the city, or perhaps for better protection of their secrets, the glassmakers were ordered to move their foundries Venice and the island of Murano. For centuries, the glassmakers of Murano have held a monopoly on quality glass, developing or refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enameled glass (Smalto), son of glass with gold (aventurine), multicolored glass (millefiori), the glass of milk (lattimo), and imitation gemstones made of glass.

The colors of millefiori beads are created one by one. First a ball of hot glass is pressed and pulled by the manufacturer of glass in some form as a flower or a star or a geometric shape, then the rod is covered layers of different colors of glass.

Another technique is very important that the application of rod pieces Millefiori to the main nucleus.
