Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy, and is situated 7 kilometers from Venice.

Formerly known for its lace, Burano is now famous for its small, brightly-painted houses. The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development; if someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot.
