Why visit Burano
Needless to say, anyone wanting to take a trip to Burano these days would find it even more beautiful. Historically, these three islands were the gateway to the Roman city of Altino, abandoned at the time of the barbarian invasions and which, for over seven centuries, lived in the shadow of Venice, however enjoying a fair amount of autonomy from the end of the thirteenth century. which even allowed it to mint its own currency. Its name actually derives from Boreana, bora, the powerful north-east wind. Until the year 1000, on the island of Burano there were only stilt houses and huts made of reeds and mud. The artisanal activity of lace, for which the island became famous throughout Europe, was introduced by Venice between the 12th and 13th centuries. A legend has it that Burano lace actually comes from sea foam hit by the tail of a mermaid encountered by a Burano merchant in the East, such was the enthusiasm for the softness of this finely embroidered fabric. The fortune and development of the island never stopped, thanks also to the fact that it was particularly windy, as suggested by the name. This essentially allowed Burano to keep malaria away and prosper. Even today the historic center of Burano it is divided into its five medieval districts: San Martino Destro and Sinistro, San Mauro, Giudecca and Terranova. The heart of the island is Piazza Baldassarre Galuppi, built by burying one of the canals that still cross it.
