History of Ercole Moretti & f.lli. Murano Family owned company founded in 1911 (and still in business) that played a leading role in extraordinary season that have experienced the Venetian beads from the end of eight hundred to the fifties of the twentieth century. Butin addiitiion to beads, the book gives a broad overview on many other prestigious glass objects that were manufactured by eclectic Moretti. Before taking care of the Ercole Moretti's business, the book casts a glance at the world of 'perlere' (the 'lume' beadworkers) in the twentieth Century in Venice. A particular interest is devoted, as well to work, to every day life, also made of sacrifices, and the rare opportunities for fun and entertainment. It would be a shame that as time flows trough all this could be forgotten.
