LAGGIA in Venice is a tiny store next to Campo San Maurizio in the passageway when walking in the…read moredirection of San Marco square. It is easy to miss, but a highly recommended stop. Laggia is the store of Alfred Laggia the local Venetian designer who creates incredibly complex hand made intricate mesh jewellery pieces in his studio in Venice. He makes tiny delicate pieces as well as dramatic large pieces which were a favourite of Gianni Versace in his runway shows. Ask to see the amazing mesh head pieces. Sabrina Laggia (Alfredo's wife) works in the store and can also show you photographs of his larger scale works. Because it is such a tiny store it is easy to pass it by, assuming that it is part of all the usual tourist fare. I highly recommend that you go inside and look at the designs as they are quite incredible. I bought a neck piece and a cuff bracelet both of which are a bit grand for me, but so amazing that I'm sure I will wear them to a special event in the future. If the shop is closed go across the hall to the wine store which they also own and Sabrina will let you in.

I think we forget how much art costs to make and the time involved. I am a "frugal" traveler, but I felt the prices were Great! Also, as we're traveling by train for several days, she wrapped it nicely as to avoid bending etc. We were here in 2018 and I hope it is still open when we go next year, 2023. I will buy a larger piece as well!!

We only discovered the studio on our last day in Venice and spent lots on wonderful Murano beads, they are so individual and totally different to the commercial Murano glass available throughout Venice. The owner of the studio, Lesley Genninger was so helpful and full of ideas for using her beads.The beads do not contain any lead and contain white gold, yellow gold leaf and silver, precious metals encased in beautiful coulors and glass. The Genninger Studio is an essential early on for our next trip to Venice and for anyone loving jewellery or making their own.

I was expecting things in the shop to be overpriced as it is located so near the stop. But I was wrong. A crescent moon and stars ring caught my attention. I bought it for €7.50 which was a good price. Apart from glasswares, they also sell postcards, magnets, keyrings and etc. The lady who served me was very friendly and helpful though she did not speak English. I really like little arts/crafts shops. I will return to the shop in next trip. Someday I will find my Star.

Many of the shops don't sell glass actually made on Murano - but De Biasi do. A welcome relief after the shops full of the same old tat, this lovely light, airy shop has an array of beautiful things, and I of course wanted them all. Service was attentive but not obtrusive, and I was so pleased when I made my purchase as the care and attention of the wrapping of my earrings was so classy. It was a little more expensive than some of the other places, but still I managed to get a pair of earrings for €12, so I can't complain!

Thank you, Mariano, for very pretty jewelry, thank you for experience, and thank you for the great lesson on customer service, and passion for what you do.
