NICOLA: Come on. This is the fornace. This is where they make the glass. It's called the furnace. It's really hot in here.

BUSTER: Yeah, it's like an oven. Cool! So when glass is hot,

you can cut it with scissors?

(Nicola's dad speaking Italian)

Okay, my dad said that this is silica sand that you can form glass out of. You can make all types of colors you want.

BUSTER: What are they making now?

NICOLA: Right now they're making this glass right here. Want to see it, Buster?

BUSTER: Wow!

(Nicola's dad speaking Italian)

NICOLA: Now they have to put the heads on it now. See? Look, look-- they're putting the balls. Because he formed, like, a circle type of one and it's really hard to do. This is a sculpture.

BO: What amazing skill!
