In 1291, all glassblowers from Venice were forced to move to Murano, because of the risk of fire. It was also said that the intention was to better protect the secrets of glassblowing. On pain of death, glassblowers were forbidden to pass on their art; these people lived as prisoners on the island. Murano became famous for its glasswork. In the eighteenth century the industry declined, as glass art emerged in Bohemia. But even at the beginning of the twenty-first century, glass is still the most important industry on Murano.
