Ongaro & Fuga, Handcrafted Venetian Mirrors
Founded in 1954 by Franco Fuga and his wife Tullia Ongaro, Ongaro & Fuga specializes in creating exquisite handcrafted Venetian mirrors that carry on the proud traditions of Venetian artisanship.
Nestled in the historic Murano district of Venice, the company has been a bastion of quality and craftsmanship from its inception.
The heritage of Handcrafted Venetian Mirrors
The roots of the Fuga family in the mirror-making industry trace back to Angelo Fuga in the mid-19th century, renowned for his exceptional skill in glass engraving and embellishment.
Angelo started his journey in 1852, setting a high standard with his intricate techniques and masterful designs.
His renowned work in 1862, commissioned by the Museo Civico Artistico Industriale of Murano, produced one of the most celebrated engraved mirrors of the era, thus laying the foundation for the family’s legacy in the Venetian mirror-making craft.
Continuing the tradition of Handcrafted Venetian Mirrors
Today, Ongaro & Fuga upholds these time-honored techniques, blending them with modern innovation under the guidance of the founders’ descendants.
The passion for mirror making is evident in every piece produced, with each mirror showcasing the meticulous process of glass cutting, elaborate engraving, and the application of silver, done with an unmatched attention to detail.

Each mirror from Ongaro & Fuga is a testament to the skilled hands that craft them. From selecting the finest glass to the final touches of silvering, the artisans ensure that every mirror is not only functional but a true piece of art.
The company’s commitment to quality means that each mirror reflects not just the beauty of those who look into it but also embodies the artisanal heritage of Venetian craftsmanship.
