THE ISLAND OF BURANO
Burano is part of the Venice archipelago and is known for its lace and rainbow houses.
The island can be reached by ACTV vaporetto (line 1) from Piazza San Marco in Venice.
GALUPPI SQUARE
Meeting place, it is the center and the only square on the island.
THE CROOKED BELL TOWER
It is 53 meters high, in Renaissance and neoclassical style, and was built in the 17th century. Its leaning shape is due to the subsidence of the land.
CHURCH OF SAINT BISHOP
Inside you can see many famous works, one of these belongs to Giambattista Tiepolo, one of the greatest Venetian painters of the 18th century.
BEPI SUA' AND THE HOUSE OF A THOUSAND COLORS
We know that all the houses in Burano are colorful but the house on via al Gottolo is different from all the others. It is the most famous on the island and it is impossible not to recognize it, with its painted geometric shapes.
Mr. Bepi is no longer with us, but coloring the facade of his house with different colors and shapes was his passion, thus giving tourists a different look to their souvenir photos.
THE BURANELLO LACE AND ITS MUSEUM
Burano lace, of centuries-old tradition, is one of the most renowned laces in the world. There is also a famous lace museum on the island.
TYPICAL MEAL
The most famous dish is the "Risotto di gò", a typical fish from the Venice lagoon, known in other regions as "goby".
TYPICAL SWEET
The typical Burano dessert has a donut shape and is called Bussolà or Buranelli. Its variant takes the name of its form, the Esse di Burano.
