All of this, however, omits the most traditional room dividing element of them all… the humble wall.

As the last furnace permitted in Venice, Orsoni is understandably proud of its history and heritage, and has celebrated the fact with other glass-fusion fans by turning the furnace into a tourist attraction. Along with offering tours of the facility, Orsoni has turned the rooms where the gold plates used to be kept into a luxury guest room, filled with the furnace’s famous gold mosaic tiles on all sides.
