Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon,7 kilometers from Venice.Burano is known for its small, brightly-painted houses, popular with artists.
Burano was mere a fishing village in the 16th century. However, during the subsequent two hundred years its women developed a fine, delicate form of lace known as "punto in aria" ("points in the air") which transformed the island into one of the most prosperous lacemaking centres in Europe.
In the center of the island there is the San Martino church.
