Long before the rest of the world would discover the danger of ultra-violet rays in 1870, Venetian opticians were 120 years ahead of the curve.

The green colour of the lenses, conjured by the island's glassmakers in the bright hues of grass green, sea green and emerald green, wasn't simply a fashion statement but had a key functional role.

It has been later discovered that this colour serves as a powerful filter for UV rays, which are damaging to eye and skin health.

Thanks to Murano Glass, it became a true innovative jewel.

These emerald-colored sunglasses protected the eyes of the nobility and Commanders da Mar (of the sea) from the harmful glare of reflected light as they navigated the waters that surrounded them.

These sunglasses soon became widespread among Venetian high society.

One was almost certainly owned and used by Doge Alvise IV Giovanni Mocenigo (19 May 1701 - 31 December 1778), who was the leader of Venice from 1763 AD until his death on New Year's Eve, 31 December 1778 AD.

No one knows for sure why they were called "Goldoni" glasses, but it is assumed this was due to Carlo Goldoni (25 February 1707 – 6 February 1793), the famous Venetian playwright and librettist from the Republic of Venice.

I truly am pedantic but at the same time there is no joy greater than spending six hours in a murano glass shop and learning all about this art you had never heard of before because one of your beloved teachers is a collector of the stuff
