I did not know that there is a lighthouse on this beautiful island, but above all that it is so well guarded. It is obvious that there has been a lighthouse on it before as Murano is the largest island in the area. The Murano lighthouse is an important cylindrical structure of Istrian marble, despite its rather internal position relative to the sea, the beam of light, actually amplified by the ingenious play of mirrors, is directed directly to the center of the estuary between Lido and Porto, facilitating the return of ships during the night. The fact is that I did not imagine this lighthouse like that and therefore I was pleasantly amazed when I saw it. It is located at the end of Viale Garibaldi (Bressagio), right in the Fondamenta Francesco Maria Piave. Its history is interesting. During the early Middle Ages, fires were lit from the top, the light created by the fire was reflected by a play of mirrors, so that, according to a technique adopted by the Romans, the lagoon was illuminated. The first iron lighthouse was built here in Murano in 1912. It was inhabited by a lighthouse keeper who had the task of lighting an oil lamp at the top of the lighthouse. After a while, they switched to gas lighting. The construction of the current lighthouse dates back to 1934. It is executed entirely in stone with several bas-reliefs present in the lower part, depicting two Madonnas, one above the entrance to the lighthouse, while the other faces the sea. From the sixties it began to be lit with electricity. It works from dusk to dawn and emits a white signal every six seconds. Unfortunately it is a lighthouse that cannot be visited but it is wonderful to observe it in all its splendor while taking the beautiful relaxing walk right next to the sea.
