Venice Hired Assassins to Keep Glass a Secret | Murano History

For over 1,000 years, Venice executed glassmakers who tried to leave the island — the recipe for clear glass was a state secret protected by assassination.

• In 1291, Doge Pietro Gradenigo formally confined all glassmaking to the island of Murano — a follow-up 1295 law made leaving punishable by death
• The state's enforcement had 3 escalating steps: ordered to return, family imprisoned, then a government-hired assassin sent to kill you
• Murano glassmakers were rewarded with the right to carry swords, immunity from prosecution, and permission to marry Venetian nobility — privileges no other commoners held
