Photographer’s Note

Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon. It is known for its lacework. The island was probably settled by the Romans. Two stories are attributed to how the city obtained its name. One is that it was initially founded by the Buriana family, and another is that the first settlers of Burano came from the small island of Buranello, five miles to the south.

Burano is situated 7 kilometers from Venice, a short 40 minute trip by Venetian boats.
