This blog is trying to draw attention on Altare, a small town in the Ligurian Apennines not far from Savona. Altare has been an active glassmaking center from the 9th Century to approximately the 1970's. Unlike Venice, which prevented its craftsmen from exporting the intricacies of the art abroad, Altare was much more liberal. Throughout the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Modern Age, the Altarese exported their glass industry to several countries.
