A tale of resilience and craftsmanship unfolds in 1486 Venice, where Orsola Rosso, the talented daughter of glassblowers, defies societal norms to master glass bead making after her father’s death. As she supports her family through creativity, they face challenges like disease, war, and the transformation of Venice from a trading hub to a tourist destination. The Rosso women preserve their craft and connections across generations. Chevalier’s The Glassmaker tells a captivating story of resilience, artistry, and the enduring spirit of a woman and her city.
