Phot.Italy.Burano.01.041026.5544.jpg

Italy, Venice, Burano, …a fiesta of colours & light. The island at the northern end of the Venetian Lagoon is situated 7 kilometres from Venice, known for its lacework & for its small, brightly-painted houses. To reach the island with a population of around four thousand, takes about a 60 minutes trip by Venetian motorboats, "Vaporetti".

 

The warm myriad of Mediterranean colours that characterises the houses on the island, follow a detailed system initiated at the golden era 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 certain colours permitted for that lot.

 

👉 One World one Dream,
