Church of San Martino, Burano island, colorfully painted fishermen's houses, Venetian Lagoon, Italy, Europe

The tilting campanile (bell tower) of the Church of San Martino rises above houses in Burano, in the Venetian Lagoon, Italy, Europe. Burano, known for knitted lacework, fishing, and colorfully painted houses, is a small archipelago of four islands linked by bridges in the Venetian Lagoon. Burano’s traditional house colors are strictly regulated by government. The Romans may have been first to settle Burano. Romantic Venice (Venezia), "City of Canals," stretches across 100+ small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy, between the mouths of the Po and Piave Rivers. Venice and the Venetian Lagoon are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
