Murano is a series of islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy. It lies about 1.5 km (1 mi) north of Venice and measures about 1.5 km (1 mi) across with a population of just over 5,000 (2004 figures).^[1] It is famous for its glass making. It was once an independent comune, but is now a frazione of the comune of Venice.
