Скачать или смотреть Italy, Burano the Painted Island

Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon in Northern Italy. Like Venice, it could more accurately be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges. It is known for its work and brightly colored homes. Burano is 4 miles from Venice, a nice 40 minute boat trip via a Venetian motorboat "vaporetti". The island is almost entirely covered by residential buildings, with few small green areas. Burano was settled by the Romans and is known for its small, brightly colored homes and is popular with artists. The colors of the homes follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development. If someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government. There are certain colors permitted for each lot. Another attraction on the island is the Church of San Martino, with a leaning campanile and a painting by Giambattista Tiepolo. The Museum and School of Lacemaking is also located on the island.
