Dior will spring up on Melrose with its Millefiori Garden Pop-Up, a week of events celebrating the brand’s beloved fragrance, Miss Dior.

The Murano name encompasses various styles and techniques, including millefiori, which is characterized by psychedelically dense floral patterns, and filigrana, a technique developed in the 16th century, in which white or colored glass threads are embedded into clear glass canes that are used to create finished pieces with a pattern of delicate stripes.

It was on Murano that glassmakers first figured out how to make pure, transparent glass and perfected the technique called millefiori — “1,000 flowers” — in which layers of colored glass evoke a many-colored bouquet.

Left behind were bronze, silver and gold jewelry, and many millefiori glass beads and Roman coins.

Venera Finocchiaro, a ceramicist who taught in Rome, came to instruct the local women, who helped produce the elaborate tilework that now covers the sculptures in every imaginable style: crackled glazes, Murano glass, millefiori details, red protrusions like devil’s horns or chili peppers.
