What is buranos?

Burano is a small island in the Venetian Lagoon, located about 7 kilometers north of Venice, Italy. It is known for its colorful houses, lace making, and traditional seafood dishes. The origin of the colorful houses is debated, but some believe that fishermen painted their homes brightly so they could easily find their way back through the fog. Burano's lace making tradition dates back to the 16th century, and the island is renowned for its intricate lace products. Visitors to Burano can explore its narrow streets, visit its lace shops and museums, and sample traditional seafood dishes such as risotto de gò and sarde in saor.
