Photographer’s Note

Burano is one of the greater centers of the lagoon of Venice, with its 7.000 inhabitants around, a flourishing activity of fishing, laces and tourism. Burano is a marvelous island, a heaven that enchants the tourists, not only for the historical themes, but even for its charm, for the unreal silence of its mornings, for the happy bawling and for the peculiar local dialect, that has the characteristic to lengthen, almost to double, the consonants.

A tourist that comes from Venice by water here in Burano discovers a maze of narrow streets "calli" and banks "fondamente" on small canals. The characteristic of the motley houses attracts immediately the attention of the visitor, remembering him other forms of polychrome that can be find in other islands of Italy, for example in Pantelleria.
