Top 10 Shopping in Giudecca, Veneto
With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Itaca Art Studio is a delight to visit! Set in an old convent on the beautiful island of Giudecca, it contains a wonderful selection of watercolours, prints, engravings and ceramics. Monica is not only a talented artist but also a lovely person who happily takes the time to engage with her visitors. I thoroughly recommend visiting Itaca Art Studio!

My boyfriend and I spent a day shopping for a mask for me to wear to a ball. We walked the whole of Venice and found this shop by accident. The masks are all made on the premises, you can venture into the workshop as there are shelves of masks for sale in there. All masks are unique. ( remember they are artisan pieces so don't expect cheap). But they are good value for money. The owners Allesandro and Patrizia are helpful and charismatic. If you are lucky, you may get to witness Allesandro perform for you a brief history of masks. It was one of my highlights, and definately memorable. Thank you so much.

Inside the ancient convent Ss Cosma e Damiano in the Island of Giudecca, Venezia, Italia there is the workshop of this amazing Murano glass master. Stefano Morasso was born in Murano in the Venice lagoon in 1962 and worked as an apprentice with Effetre glass factory in Murano from 1978/1979, before opening his own business in partnership with his father Giacomo in 1980. This led him to explore the world of making glass through lampworking and brought out his innate talent for bringing together different tones and working ancient techniques into modern and unique forms. He met his wife Nicoletta in 1992 and together they took up work in a new direction, which included overseas travel which took them out of Italy a good 10 years. After returning to Venice in 2013 Stefano’s permanent work base is now his studio on the Giudecca in Venice, where he can be visited.

Stefano Morasso Studio is an authentic, family-run, glass shop, tucked away in a restored old convent in a quiet residential area on Giudecca Island. It is only a short distance from the Giudecca Palanca water bus stop or a short walk from the Hilton Hotel. (Unfortunately, many of the other reviewers here have confused this shop with the glass tours on Murano Island, but it has nothing at all in common with those tourist traps). All of the glass and glass jewelry in the shop are absolutely beautiful and are handmade by Stefano and his wife Nicki. They were both lovely people and they were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It was a pleasure to speak with them and to see the passion that they put into all of their glass and jewelry. Everything was beautiful and you know it is authentic from Venice because you are visiting the actual studio were it is made. Overall, we found the glass and the jewelry to be beautiful, the prices to be very fair and reasonable, and the experience of meeting Stafano and Nicki to be very rewarding and enjoyable.
