Burano and Mazzorbo
a multicolored dream
Marvel at the timeless charm of Burano and Mazzorbo! Strolling among colourful houses and through silent narrow streets, we will plunge into the rich island’s tradition of fishing and lace making. Wandering through the towns’ most hidden corners, we will relive their history through the stories that made this place what it is today, trying to understand how an uninhabitable environment was transformed into a flourishing center, from its foundation dating back to the fall of the Roman Empire, up to its rise as the heart of the northern Venice lagoon.
