Since 1979, one ornament at a time.
The story of Bellagio Glass Ornaments begins in 1979, in a small workshop in Bellagio where glass is blown by hand, patiently, and refined over time. Over the years our ornaments have traveled far beyond Italy, while we have stayed true to our time-honored methods and to the value of handmade work.
Glass that lasts.
We were born to safeguard an authentic artisan tradition and bring it into the present: turning blown glass into objects that speak of value, identity and memories.
We don’t follow trends and we don’t mass-produce. Every piece is made to last and to be part of the moments that matter, year after year.
In an ever-faster world, we choose slowness as a value, not a limit.

Roots, hands, identity
Our workshop is made up mostly of women, and over time they have built a method grounded in precision, continuity and attention to detail.
Every skill is learned here: months of apprenticeship to blow a well-balanced ornament, years of experience to decorate it consistently. All of our artisans come from the Lake Como area.
Designers
