Burano

After a nice boat-ride of about half hour in the Venetian Lagoon, we will stop in Burano Island, where you will have about 45 minutes to walk around this unique place, famous for its colourful houses. Here you will also have the chance to buy some Burano lace, the world famous craft from Burano.Lace production has been practiced in Venice since the 15th century. It is an irregular weaving technique that requires an extremely skilled hand with decades of experience. Over the centuries, lace-makers on the tiny island of Burano refined this technique developing a unique style which came to be known as punto Burano. This tradition of exquisite lace-making is still alive on this island in the Venice lagoon

Isola Torcello

After Burano, we will stop in Torcello Island. This stunning place is located in the north-east corner of the Venetian lagoon, and is only 10 km away from Piazza San Marco (St. Mark’s Square) . As of today, the island is mainly made up of vegetable gardens and is inhabited only by a few dozen people, while 1500 years ago it was the center of the entire Venetian civilization. Torcello had its greatest civilization development between the VII and X centuries, reaching a population of 20000 inhabitants, thanks to his flourishing business. Over the following centuries, it gradually and inexorably lost its importance, with all the main productive activities now moved in Venice. Only a few of the many monuments that once crowded the island, like churches and monasteries, have survived nowadays. Torcello is not only a splendid illustration of the birth of the Venetian civilization: it is first and foremost an island immersed in the fascinating world that is the Venetian lagoon.
