BURANO

The isle of BURANO is famous for the art of lace making, (a tradition since the 16th century), its bright multicoloured houses and for the culinary traditions.

The centenary lace sawing school founded its history on a legend: a fisherman from Burano resisted to the sound of the Sirens in the name of the love for his girlfriend that was waiting for him back home. He received from the Queen of the Waves a crown made of foaming water to give to his beloved woman. The friends of the lucky lady, envious of the gift she had, tried to copy it, that’s how Burano lace making school was born, a romantic tale that suits the romantic atmosphere of the island.
