To get an idea, just take a look at the windows of the cathedrals in Orvieto, Perugia and Todi. They are all the result of local craftsmanship that developed mainly thanks to two important centres for this type of work: <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Piegaro<\/strong><\/span> and <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Perugia<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the 13<sup>th<\/sup> century, Piegaro already supplied most of the region with products and raw materials and soon became a major centre for creating and working with coloured glass, which was the type used to build the windows of the Duomo di Orvieto in the first half of the 14<sup>th<\/sup> century. Some colouring techniques were invented there before becoming famous in Venice and Murano. Since then, the importance of <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Piegaro glass<\/strong><\/span> has never ceased and today the Vetreria Cooperativa Piegarese (Piegaro glass cooperative) is one of the major companies in the sector in Italy and Europe. If you pass through this lovely village, after visiting the ancient glassworks building that now houses the Museo del Vetro, you can\u2019t leave without buying the typical \u2018Fiasco di Piegaro\u2019. This pot-bellied bottle comes in various sizes and is wrapped in a cleverly hand-woven straw covering, obtained from a local marsh plant called \u2018<span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm;\"><em>scarcia<\/em><\/span>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Moving on to the region\u2019s capital, we can find traces of a figure considered a symbol of the regional glass tradition. In the second half of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, a research laboratory on ancient glass painting techniques was opened in Perugia by <span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm;\"><em>Francesco Moretti<\/em><\/span>. The techniques were then developed over the years and can be admired in the Cathedrals of Perugia and Todi. <span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm;\"><em>Francesco Moretti <\/em><\/span>was also commissioned in Perugia in 1862 to restore all twenty-three metres of the delicate window of the <span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>Basilica <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong>di<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: normal !msorm;\"><strong> S. Domenico<\/strong><\/span>, one of the largest Gothic windows in the world.
