Burano and its bell tower.
Like Murano, Burano consists of several small islands separated by canals but connected by bridges. Burano is located northeast of Venice; the boat ride takes about 45 minutes.
The fact that the houses are so colorful isn't because the people of Burano have such colorful personalities, but because fishermen live here, and it's easier for them to find the right spot on the shore when they're coming in by boat in the dark.
Life in Burano follows its own rhythm, starting with the fact that there are no cars on the island - and therefore no traffic noise - except perhaps the chugging of the boat engines. Here, you can relax wonderfully, count the boats, or enjoy the day to the fullest with an Aperol while gazing out at the sea.
There is evidence that Burano was already inhabited before the year 0. The island became famous in the 14th century for its lace-making. The fact that it became so well-known is largely due to Dogaressa Morosini, who herself founded a workshop with 40 lacemakers (at that time still in Venice).
After her death, the business was moved to Burano, where it fell into obscurity until this beautiful craft was rediscovered (and revived) in the 19th century.
