Rome - nearby glass blowers?
My teenage boys will be traveling with their grandparents to Rome this summer. They will be there for about 4-5 days. They are interested in visiting a glass blower, but I think that Venice and Murano are too far away to travel for the grandparents in such a short time Does anyone know of any glass blowing factories near Rome they could visit?

See if you can get in touch with Uno Alla Volta in Branford, Ct. They sell glass made in Napoli but using Venetian techniques. They might be able to arrange for a workshop visit. Napoli is one hour by train from Rome, but you might need a taxi from there to get to the workshop location, most likely in a suburban area.
