Burano Island
Located just north of Venice, the island is known throughout the world for
it specialty: Burano lace. Burano's colorful houses were painted these
brilliant colors out of the fishermen's desire to see their own houses
from far out at sea. Today Burano is a marvelous island, a heaven that
enchants the tourists, not only for the historical themes, but even for
its charm, for the unreal silence of its mornings, for the happy bawling
and for the peculiar local dialect, that has the characteristic to
lengthen, almost to double, the consonants.
The historic traces that the island still preserves are almost all
contained in the ample church devoted to S. Martin, a construction of the
XVI century. The big square in front of the church is dedicated to
Baldassarre Galuppi, who was the famous musician called the Buranello,
pride of Burano. The Islands houses the Lace Museum which tells the epic
story of the Burano lace makers.
