Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy. It is known for its lace work and brightly coloured homes.Ever seen those photos of Venice that show brightly-painted buildings. Those aren’t from the main island of Venice, but Burano. Families used to paint their homes in bright colors to designate where their family’s quarters ended and a neighbor’s began, as well as to make their homes more visible from the sea. This was especially usefully to the islands fishermen returning home from sea. The tradition has stuck.
Today, Burano is a rainbow of fun, bright colors—and the perfect place for that great Venice photo-up.
