Piegaro Glass Museum
Piegaro, Perugia
Opened in 2009 in the old glassworks that operated until 1968, the museum preserves the appearance of the historic factory intact: the base of the original melting furnace still holds part of the last glass left inside when it was shut down. A journey through Umbrian glassmaking from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.
