Burano It is a small island of the Venice lagoon which is located in the north. It was not part of Venice until 1923. It is an island of fishermen, very popular for the color of its houses. It is 45 minutes by vaporetto from Venice.
It gained importance from the sixteenth century, with the artisanal elaboration of rich handmade thread lace. Girls began to learn the art of thread lace at age 12 at lace school. History that we can know in the Merletto Museum.

But today Burano is known, more than for its expensively made lace that now comes from the East, for the color of its houses.
The houses are painted as if it were a painting. Anyone who wants to paint theirs must make an express request to the city council that, once the area that the house occupies has been analyzed, will communicate the color to be used. Nothing is random.
Burano lives, almost exclusively, from tourism. Strolling through its streets is like participating in a work of art. That is why it has become a mecca for photographers and artists. They highlight the Parish Church of San Martino, from the 53th century, which houses the painting of "The Crucifixion" by Tiepolo. It has a very crooked XNUMXth century campanile which is XNUMX meters high and its neighbor, the Chapel of Santa Barbara.
