Burano is known for its small, brightly-painted houses, popular with artists. The designer Philippe Starck owns three houses. The colours of the houses follow a specific system originating from the golden age of its development; if someone wishes to paint their home, one must send a request to the government, who will respond by making notice of the certain colours permitted for that lot. This practice has resulted in the myriad of warm, pastel colours that characterises the island today. It is said that the houses were originally painted this way so sailors could distinguish there own house in the fog . Other attractions include the Church of San Martino, with a campanile, the Oratorio di Santa Barbara and the Museum and School of Lacemaking.

Bold colours create a beautiful contrast in Burano, a Venetian island known for its bright colours and lace work. The colours of the homes follow a strict tradition and permission is needed from the government who respond by indicating what colours are allowed. Jon Reid | Portfolio | Blog | Facebook
