Description
Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy; like Venice itself, it could more correctly be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges. It is situated near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework and brightly coloured homes. Burano is also known for its small, brightly painted houses, popular with artists. The colours of the houses 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, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot.

Hello Ana Maria! YES! These colorful houses seem to dot the world (think Cartagena!) and so many other places. We are so staid, even in California, that someone who had painted their home in colors, received a lot of complaints. That house is no longer pale purple and pink; it is now beige. Beige seems to dominate, and while there is nothing wrong with it, a little more color would be charming. I really like this photo and dearly wish that all my Venice pictures were shot with digital, but, alas....I used film and it always seemed to be raining when I was there. l/f Best regards to you, Kirsten

Thank you so much, Kirsten. I saw Cartagena only in your gorgeous photos and I was instantly charmed by the colors of the houses.
