Meet the Owners and Team of The Glass Cathedral - Santa Chiara Murano

Who We Are

The Glass Cathedral - Santa Chiara is a family owned and operated business located on the Island of Murano in Venice, Italy.  We are a local Venetian family who, after more than 30 years of experience in tourism and hospitality, bought the ruins of the Ex Chiesa di Santa Chiara and determined to restore this remarkable space and reopen it to the public as an event, entertainment and exhibition space in Venice.  For more than four years, we worked tirelessly to restore this amazing historical building.  Now, it is our honor and our pleasure to invite you to visit it.

Our Story

Though the Ex Chiesa di Santa Chiara was in a state of near ruin when we first visited in 2011, we saw it as a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Here was our chance to restore an important building, contribute to the preservation of our city's history, and create a a truly outstanding events venue in Venice. Hospitality professionals at heart, we have reopened The Glass Cathedral - Santa Chiara as a destination that will welcome and enchant all or our guests, bringing their events to life and contributing to unforgettable memories of Venice.
