Description

In the glittering world of Murano’s glass workshops, a young maid named Marietta navigates the shadowy corridors of the Beroviero household, where art, ambition, and secrecy intertwine. Her master, the brilliant yet temper‑shortened Angelo, safeguards a centuries‑old formula for the coveted red glass, locked away in an iron chest that could change fortunes. Meanwhile, Zorzi, a mysterious Dalmatian worker, is whispered about as a possible heretic and a rival for the maid’s affection, stirring gossip among the servants and craftsmen alike.

Against this backdrop of shimmering colors and simmering rivalries, Marietta finds herself the only safe haven for those whose tempers flare, while the men around her wrestle with jealousy, loyalty, and hidden desires. As Angelo’s volatile nature threatens to erupt, the delicate balance of love, art, and ambition hangs by a thread, promising intrigue and heartfelt moments in the heart of Venice.
