Millefiori beads, known as "Chachachao" in Africa, derive their name from the Italian phrase meaning "a thousand flowers." Following the collapse of exclusive trade with the East and the domination of the European market by Bohemian glass, Venice faced significant economic challenges. In response, Venetian artisans created a wide variety of decorative glass, with Millefiori glass being a prominent example. Traders, already engaged in bead trade with Africa, fashioned cylindrical beads from this glass and transported them to Africa as trade beads.
