Burano, in brief.

Colourful houses, lace making, leaning campanile.

A lagoon island of fishermen's houses painted in every colour, their bright facades mirrored in the canals.

Burano has made fine needle lace for centuries, and its tilting brick campanile leans over the rooftops like Pisa's tower.
