Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, northern Italy, near Torcello at the northern end of the lagoon. Burano is 7 kilometres from Venice, a 45-minute trip from St. Mark’s Square by vaporetto, a Venetian water bus. Burano is known for its lace work and for its small, brightly painted houses, which are popular with artists. The colours of the houses follow a specific system, originating from the golden age of its development. The heart of the village is Piazza Baldassare Galuppi which is the only square in the village.
